All connected

I had a friend ask me something. "isn't it cool how God meshes our lives together with others?"
Stop. Think about that for a second.
How cool is that hey? How cool is it that God brings us into the lives of people, wether it be through praying for someone, holding their hand in the hospital, sitting and talking or just reading things they write in blogs.
How cool is it that He finds a way for His family to mesh together and be there for one another even though they may be continents away. Even though I may not know you we all have something in common. A Father that sent His son for us. A Father that loves us deeply and without abandon.
That is the best thing to have in common with someone else. No matter where you live in this world there is a special common connection.
Some of these people that He brings into our lives may have helped us start our journey with more force then before. Some may be battling for us and with us currently. Some may have only been in our lives for a short time. For a season but the impact that they may have made would have lasted a life time. Some may just be those that are going to be there for us forever. It all works out for His purposes. For His glory.
We are the body. We connect as one to provide what He gives us. Love, hope, strength. When we are weak and feel like we can't carry on He gives us those that are willing to hold up our hands. (Ex. 17:12)
It just blows me away at how small our world really is. For the simple reason that we are all connected. We are all meshed together in His protective netting. Wow God. You amaze me.
