I dream of a community serving each others' needs, rushing to each other when someone is hurt, correcting each others' mistakes, teaching one another valuable lessons and loving each other unconditionally. And then I saw my mom, my brothers, my sisters, my cousins, my aunts, my uncles, my neighbors, my friends, peers... Then I inquired myself, "How far is my community from my dream?". Honesty silenced my lips. My heart palpitated, faster and faster. The nerves on my hands are but buffering. I have to admit it, the silence implied a negative answer.
This is my vision. A community founded on the purity of God's grace enabling every citizen of our neighborhood to be of one mind. A place where God has regenerated every being, a place where the chapel is just for corporate worships and meetings, a place where the church is entirely the entire neighborhood, or at least to say, most of the inhabitants. However, we have to acknowledge that the point we should start sharing on the goodness of our God is on our own family, with our own kins, own blood. If a light is seen in a single house in a place where darkness prevails, then people will surely come to that house. I pray then, that God would enable us to witness His goodness to our families. I pray that God would give us strengths to overcome any spirit of hatred, divisions and negative hedonism living beneath the carpets of our houses.
