you are never alone

Our place is within community...
We reshape community, we strengthen hearts and refresh minds
But this only can happen through God's initiative and love to have communion with us. God himself came to us and bond us with his love, and by his grace unite his people in one accord through prayers, melodies, and sharing.

Taize is not just about friendship or prayer, its about community.. 
We might not know everyone in the community, but we certainly are not alone, and it feels good knowing that we're not alone in this journey, in this pilgrimage of life.. Whether we're Looking for purpose and meaning in life, or seeking God the almighty.. Whether we're lost, discouraged, frustrated, lonely or even when we can't focus in prayer, we're not alone. on the contrary, when we're happy and in joy we too know that we are never alone..

I believed that many people after the meeting realized that our world is getting bigger yet smaller at the same time. Bigger, having met and known new people in our lives and smaller for we now know that wherever we go we now have friends in those countries. knowing this gives us comfort, encouragement and even blessings...yes, we are not alone anymore..

Such community is the community of God. A community  where people encourage each other, support, pray and share, just in acts 2:41-47. Isn't such a relief knowing that In this more and more individualistic world, we're not alone..

Off course not everyone realize this, as we might not always realize how the Holy Spirit works in us as well... We only know that we are continuing this pilgrimage.. The Spirit is not over although the meeting is over, for the Spirit is in us, workin in us and through us. Realizing this certainly will give something different in our life. It gives us meaning. A meaning of our life in this world, meaning of what we are doing, and meaning of what God has done in our life. Having meaning in life gives us power, energy, excitement, optimism, and purpose to walk one step further in our life with God in doing his will, to share his love and peace in every possible ways... yet, such a great power knowing that we're doing this with others for we are not alone...
