John 13:35
This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.
God gave us a job to do. The work is to believe in the one he sent, Jesus, and to listen to his words, follow him and deepen our relationship with him. As our lives begin to change we see the beauty of living out our Christian calling. And because Christ's ways often contradict what our culture tells us is best, we have to really work hard to keep on living out our calling.
We need to work together to fulfill God's plan for us . He didn't intend for us to live isolated. He commands us to love our neighbor. We should celebrate our human spirit, our ability to pray for each other, to collaborate and in the process no matter what constraints we face, to solve problems we see as Christians that exist in our communities today.
God gave us a job to do. We can get started with prayer and discernment. Forget about the difficult parts, God will find a way for us if it is in his will. In the process of learning to follow Jesus and live out out gospel values we will learn how, with God's grace and by working together, we can find solutions that can be a testament to our Christ centered lives. "They'll know we are Christians by our love" (as the song goes)
