Lots of rhetorical questions:
How much of church 'life' and my connection with others is orchestrated by my good intentions?
How often have I run to connect with those that God 'allowed' me to be connected with, rather than actually willing it as the best thing for me?
How do I know who is really of God's connecting and who isn't?
Should I always disconnect from those I don't sense a 'oneness with and only stay with those who I 'feel' knitted to in the Spirit? I'd probably have very few relationships if I did that. Love covers a multitude of sins, after all. We are not all able to take truth in deep doses. It seems that God has made us all of different types and depths and I suppose God uses those who see things differently to grate and rub and polish me; teach me more about Himself.
There are few friends on the Way to freedom; most people would rather endure comfortable bondage in the arms of the System in the wide valley far below than experience the danger liberty offers. There, on the narrow path on the mountain it just keeps getting narrower until we have ditched every burden that drags us back and spend more time crawling on our knees than we do walking.
