God has known from the beginning that humans need friendship. We need other people to truly thrive. After the fall, humans put on masks in the form of clothes, and tried to hide from God. They actually thought they could do it... Hide from him... but he searched for them and found them. He is still finding us today. We try to hide, but we need to be found by God and by other loving humans. We need community to survive, and as much as we want to hide our sins, struggle and insecurities from the watching world, the lonelyness of hiding is actually worse than the shame of being found out in our secrets and shame.
God created the church to be a community where everyone could be found and everyone could be loved... Are we the type of community that finds and loves everyone?
