Created for Connection

I'm reading slowly... very slowly... through Erwin McManus' Soul Cravings again. He's such a profound writer... he says things we already know to be true, and in amazingly simple... yet profound... ways.

I love this quote from the book:

"Why is it so hard to move from 'me' to 'us'? In our guts we know we're not supposed to live simply for ourselves... Our need for relationship comes from the core of our being. It would be the greatest of tragedies to sacrifice others in the effort to find ourselves. Our souls crave to belong. The experience of love, though it emanates from God, is not limited to him.

We are created for each other."
