When God created Adam, he also made him a partner. He said it's not good for us to be alone. We are meant to live in fellowship with others. In the Bible we are called sheep--and sheep are apparently very social animals. Sheep require other sheep to be around or they won't display normal sheep-like behavior. They just don't do well on their own.
In light of this, isn't it interesting that we are compared to sheep in Scripture? A sense of normalcy is possible when we don't isolate ourselves from others. There's no need to feel anxious or alone in this journey of life because God has given us a family--his family.
You are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it ( 1 Corinthians 12:27, NIV).
Do you have a flock of sheep to accompany you in this life? Be encouraged today to embrace the church community around you. Make the effort to be hospitable and spend dedicated time with others who are like-minded. You might be surprised just how normal you are.
