dependent relationship (expects from the other person in return, what you give is what you get)
interdependent relationship --- (everything has a cost, I love you I'm your friend. you need something. I'll provide it to you)
holy spirit come, heaven was there. it was fun and energizing to pray for people in tijuana last night
my friend who came with us talked about how the people connection was an important and necessary part of life. that is why she said she could not survive on a relationship with God and holy Spirit alone for 4 years of her life. She realized that we need people,
God said that it was not "good for man to be alone"
why does this make sense?
Perhaps to think of what "alone" means. Not the only one here on the earth in this physical place. Can we be companions to God as he can be a companion to us? Can we relate to the animals? Can we relate to God like we relate to other people? Even if community was a good thing that is one of God's extra blessings like jewels or an ocean to swim in or the beauty of nature, something good though not completely necessary as joy or peace or love or food. Even if community was not as necessary as those things then we might at least observe that the world is full of people whose lives we can change with the love of God that we've known. It is perhaps we
would need to learn to relate to them and the culture of living among them would need to be learned if we are to most effectively reach out with this love to them.
