Connecting
God created us to be in community. We begin to understand that sense of community when we realize all things are interwoven with one another. John Wesley defined interwovenness as love, the virtue of virtues. He envisioned a world connected through the reality of God, which begins and ends with the outpouring of God’s love for us through the grace of Jesus Christ. In turn, we are called to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength… and to love our neighbor as ourselves. Love is the common currency of God! We arrived in God’s love and we will leave in God’s love. In the space between, we are to share God’s love with others. Loving God and loving others… this is community; this is our divine purpose - God’s plan for creating us.
