God's Home Is Our Love For Each Other

I love the idea of a friend 

becoming family.

I love the process that occurs 

and that time when

the friendship becomes open

and isn't obscured.

I love that God Himself

is the key to connections 

and intersections 

and loving interventions.

He fits people together

for a beautiful picture 

of living colors 

and stones fitted to build 

a home for Himself 

to call His own.

I love the thought that God

is making each of us -

fitly joined together as living stones

to become His habitation.

So don't think of those around you

as the pebble in your shoe

or the weed to be plucked out 

by the root.

Instead, think of the picture 

of a big beautiful building.

And the more you embrace God,

the more He works in you

and those around you 

to become His dwelling

where He longs to place His name

and dwell there

and be called your God

and you, His chosen people.

Family.

Home.

Belonging.

Forever.

Do your thing God.

May I be your willing stone,

your clay to be molded,

yours and yours alone.
