Intertwined

Last night, after having the awesome opportunity to see the Compassion India bloggers via live stream, I collapsed into bed with God pressing one word on my heart.

Intertwined

I did not know what God was saying and I quickly fell asleep. Then this morning I woke up and the Lord kept pressing the word intertwined on my heart.

Finally as I was driving to work I began to see what he meant.

There have been many things on my mind lately. Yesterday I received word of a dear friend’s husband being diagnosed with cancer. I have another friend who is weary with everything that is going on around her. And a family member is trying not to be concerned about something possibly being wrong with her sight.

My heart was heavy.

But witnessing the lives of these bloggers being changed by God and seeing that really they could not do what they do without YOUR support. It truly is about YOU and not them. And my dear friend’s family can not face this cancer without YOUR support. And my weary friend can not travel this journey without YOUR support. And my family member can not have her worries put to rest without support.

God said Lori, “Each of these situations is another strand making up the large rope.” By ourselves we would each snap, but coming together and INTERTWINING ourselves with each other we are STRONG.

As Christians God tells us we must INTERTWINE ourselves with the poor. By themselves they would not survive, they would snap. What the world offers them is death, but as we come together and INTERTWINE ourselves in their lives we become strong and offer them life. They make us strong and we make them strong.

God wants us INTERTWINED.
