Community - It's Not Easy, but It's Worth It?

Community...

From Larry Crabb - "We need each other, never more than when we are most broken. But brokenness is not a disease, like cancer, that many or may not develop. Brokenness is a condition, one that is always there, inside, beneath the surface, carefully hidden for as long as we can keep a facade in place. We live in brokenness. We just don't always see it, either in ourselves or in others.
A central task of community is to create a place that is safe enough for the walls to be torn down, safe enough for each of us to own and reveal our brokenness. Only then can the power of connecting do its job. Only then can community be used of God to restore our souls (The Safest Place on Earth, p. 11)."
