Better Together - Part 1

God never designed us to walk through life alone. In fact, the very first thing He called 'not good' in all of Scripture was not sin or rebellion, but isolation. We are hardwired for connection because we are made in the image of a relational God. Ecclesiastes 4:9 reminds us that two are better than one, using the same Hebrew word, tov, that God used when He looked at creation and called it good. The blessing is not found in independence but in the cluster. Whether fear, past hurt, busyness, or self-sufficiency has kept you at a distance, God is actively working to place the lonely in family. The cross of Jesus restored both our relationship with God and our relationship with one another. Do not destroy the cluster. Run toward it.
