Evening: Psalm 119:73-96; John 5:1-18
One year of isolation is long enough, but 38 years!? The man at the sacred pool has been there that long waiting for someone to help him into the waters. ‘I have no one’ to help me, he says. His deepest trouble is his isolation. Healing, for him, means being delivered from isolation, discovering the capacity to build community with others. Helping one another build community heals brokenness through relationship. To heal others and yourself, reach out ... Don’t wait years before asking yourself what kind of community they and you need; then build it together.
