sweet community

Psalm 133
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 How good and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in unity!
2 It is like precious oil poured on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down on Aaron's beard,
down upon the collar of his robes.
3 It is as if the dew of Hermon
were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the LORD bestows his blessing,
even life forevermore.

Unity is so sweet and refreshing! Whenever I leave my weekly Bible Study, made up of several gals from school, I desire God more....I desire to know Him and to be in His presence. Being with them renews my heart as each of them share what God is teaching them and how He is showing them more of His character.

Our Christian walk is most fully lived out in community.....God Himself is community: Father, Son, and Spirit. But, how often I reject that community in an effort to figure it all out on my own. Looking back, though, I realize that the times when I have followed God most closely and lived out his requirements more carefully have come when I was willing to throw myself into community and allow myself to know and be known, to serve and to be served, to love and to be loved.

Caedmon's Call: Carry Your Love
We are called out; we are ransomed
We are not of the world were in
we are chosen; we are blessed
to bring light to the lives of men
so father sow your seed
give us life in community
wake us from our sleep
this is your time; this is your place
and we are vessels for breaking

(CHORUS)
under your grace we are lef by your spirt
you have redeemed us by the blood of your son
send down your word we are eager to hear it
ready our hearts to carry your love

you are sunlight you are morning
your the hope of a brand new day
your are comfort; you are blessing
and you wipe all our tears away
so change us from within
render miracles from our sin
remind us once again
this is your time;this is your place
we are vessels for breaking
