The should be no walls of defense towards God or each other, even if we have been hurt. The pain we experience in life can be overwhelming, but we aren't meant to go through it alone. We are here on earth to be a home and a refuge for the lost and broken, but first we must learn the art of togetherness and celebration.
...to be on a journey -- suffering and laughing together, not some holy huddle where we all pretend that everything is OK, but a real community who believes not only in the God of miracles, but in the God of trials.
