Reach Out to Others
Close, open relationships are vital. A glib "Hi, how are ya" must be replaced with genuine concern.
The key term is assimilation. When I use the word here, I'm referring to people reaching out to one another.
Being absorbed in the function of the family of God as a participant (rather than a spectator)
. . . relating to. . . working with
. . . caring for others whom I know and love.
As I read it over, I see written between the lines the reminder:
This isnot
automatic.
I am personally responsible.
So are you!
We actively participate in the family of God by caring for others we know and love.
