After a day in Brussels with good friends and the church body to which God called them, I am once again struck by the fact that the life of God's Kingdom flows through relationships just as life flows through a vine wherever the vine goes.
Our God is a relational God- Father, Son and Spirit in relationship. God is also relational with respect to His Creation- especially with those He has made in His own image (an image in us which includes our own relational nature).
Jesus Christ became one of us in order that God might invite us into a deeper, life-giving intimacy with Him [a profound relationship of 'oneness'] and with one another.
The best thing God's people can offer others is a life-giving relationship where God's life working in them is free to flow through them to others as a blessing. This is truly 'grace at work'.
Wherever possible, whenever possible, we ought to never exclude anyone from this gift God seeks to give to the world through us. God says through John: "Beloved, let us love one another. For love comes [to you, through you] from God."
