Tilling the Soil of the Heart: The Body of Christ

As we near the end of our week focusing on tilling the soil of the heart, today we’re going to look at the role of community in positioning ourselves to receive all that God longs to give. God is calling us into a deeper commitment to love others, and be loved by others. He wants to use us and those he’s placed around us to guide us deeper into fullness of life. So as we set our eyes on him, may he fill our hearts with compassion and love, and desire to be fully known and fully loved by our communities. Our Scripture for today comes from Romans 12:4-5, and today's worship is  If We Are The Body by Casting Crowns. -- Thank you for listening to today’s podcast.   If listening to this podcast today stirred up painful emotions for you, maybe because you’ve been harmed by those in your community before, I want you to know that there is space for you to focus on healing your heart and finding a group of people that are lifegiving for you. In any community there are problems, but some communities can be especially harmful. But know in the midst of getting healing, that you are still made to love and be loved by others. And if possible, try and keep an open mind and an open heart to God, allowing him to lead you wherever he would have you go.    Make sure to rate and review the podcast today, and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day. May God bless you as you seek him.
