"He who loves his dream of a community more than the Christian community itself becomes a destroyer of the latter, even though his personal intentions may be ever so honest and earnest and sacrifial." Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Faith in Community, by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. This is a tough one for me. I love community and strongly desire for that community to reach all that I think God has for it. Yet in my zeal to reach that goal I achieve only frustration with the community. Lord help me to keep love for your people second only to my love for you.
