Connection

So.  Several of our family and friends had a party for a little girl that we have not, yet, met.  It really does not make sense, our only contact has been a couple of reports and a few pictures from an orphanage; however, we have a deep connection with her . . . so . . . we celebrate.  The thing is . . . we all have been changed because of our connection with her.

How is a connection possible?

Put simply, we are created to connect.

Read Acts 15. There was an argument . . . a parting . . . leaving Paul with the need for a traveling partner to spread the Message.  Study the result in Acts 15:40: “but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the believers to the grace of the Lord.”  

Paul, empowered to impact the church, made a connection with Silas, a leader in the Jerusalem church, who welcomed the Gentiles into the fellowship of believers.  (see Acts 15: 22-35 ).  The connection mattered for all of history.

We often fail to realize that we are experiencing a work of God when we have a connection with another human being.  And, the connection can be so powerful that every detail, including the atmosphere, changes.

Intentionally connect with others through the power of Christ.

Experience the power of the connection and celebrate. 

Learning with you to KICK START the day . . . connecting,
