In Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. - Romans 12:5 (NIV)

I am from a culture in which people do not readily share their deeper concerns or joys. Out of fear of having their “business on the streets,” persons endure silently. And out of fear of not respecting another’s difficulties, they hesitate to celebrate their joys. This situation deprives the community...

Today's Prayer
Liberating God, set us free to trust that as we share our joys and sorrows with others, we will all be brought closer to you in community. Amen.
