We all need one another
The first line of a popular hymn we all love goes “No man can live as an island”. In the movie ‘Castaway’ actor Tom Hanks who is forced to do just this, becomes friends with a volleyball that he names Wilson . He talks to Wilson daily, a means by which he keeps his sanity. He argues, apologizes and even weeps with Wilson .
Christianity is basically a communitarian religion. Jesus’ Gospel gives us a call to discipleship which should arise from the heart and be based on the love of God first and foremost and next, a love of neighbor as one loves oneself (Lev. 19:18, Matthew 22:36-38 , Mark 12:29-31, Luke 10:26-28).
Recently I went through a horribly dry spell. I was badly in need of help. The pit I had dug myself into was very deep & try though I did, I could not pull myself out of it. Our loving God however sent two angels into my life.
