A Fearless Space
God alone is free enough from wounds to offer us a fearless space. In and through God we can be faithful to each other: in friendship, marriage, and community. This intimate bond with God, constantly nurtured by prayer, offers us a true home. We can live together in this home without asking for much more than a willingness to constantly confess our weaknesses to each other. We can only stay together when the “staying power” comes from the One who comes to stay. When we know ourselves to be deeply anchored in that divine covenant, we can build homes together. Only then can our limited and broken love reflect the unlimited and unbroken love of God.
For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
- Colossians 3: 3
Reflection Question: When was the last time you confessed your weaknesses to your friends or family?
