No Place For Islands
Nobody is a whole chain. Each one is a link.
But take away one link and the chain is broken.
Nobody is a whole team. Each one is a player.
But take away one player and the game is forfeited.
Nobody is a whole orchestra. Each one is a
musician. But take way one musician and the symphony
is incomplete.
You guessed it. We need each other. You need
someone and someone needs you. Isolated islands we're
not. To make this thing called life work, we gotta
lean and support. And relate and respond. And give and
take. And confess and forgive. And reach out and
embrace. And release and rely.
Especially in God's family...where working
together is Plan A for survival. And since we're so
different (thanks to the way God built you), love and
acceptance are not optional luxuries. Neither is
tolerance. Or understanding. Or patience. You know,
all those things you need from others when your
humanity crowds out your divinity.
In other words:
Love each other with brotherly affection and
take delight in honoring each other... Be glad for all
God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble, and
prayerful always. When God's children are in need, you
be the one to help them out... Romans 12: 10-13
Why? Because each one of us is worth it. Even
when we don't act like it or feel like it or deserve
it.
In a rare moment of remarkable insight, the
Wall Street Journal dedicated an entire page to this
very subject. It's like a modern day application of
the Romans 12 passage:
How Important Are You?
More than you think.
A rooster minus a hen
equals no baby chicks.
Kellogg minus
a farmer
equals
no corn flakes
If the nail
factory closes
what good is the
hammer factory?
Paderewski's
genius wouldn't have
amounted to much
if the
piano tuner
hadn't shown up.
A cracker maker
will do better
if there's a
cheese maker.
The most skillful
surgeon needs
the ambulance driver
who delivers the patient.
Just as Rodgers
needed Hammerstein
you need someone
and someone
needs you.
Since none of us is a whole, independent,
self-sufficient, super capable, all-powerful hotshot,
let's quit acting like we are. Life's lonely enough
without our playing that silly role.
The game's over. Let's link up
