When we construct borders that keep us from God we miss the joy of the Lord and the awe and wonder of His presence. Walking with Jesus should move us closer to the King, not keep us further away.

We are choosing to walk with Jesus, and on this journey we learn that we’re meant to be in community. When we construct borders that keep us from God, we miss the joy of the Lord. Do we have the eyes of Christ when we see the “others” in our life? As we approach the throne in faith, we will find freedom, salvation, rest, and compassion. Let’s begin enlarging the circle.
