One of the things about relationships is that they can break. We are tied to one another by God’s intention, but those are strings that we sometimes let rot or intentionally cut. The mother favors one son, the father the other, and the sons themselves turn on each other. This is not what God wants for us, so in ways that we often cannot fathom, God is always at work mending and retying the ties that bind. Scripture References: Genesis 27:1-4, Genesis 27:15-23, Genesis 28:10-17 Before we are invited, we are already included. Accepting God’s invitation means being deliberate about cultivating our relationship with God, with each other, and with all of God’s good creation. But this is not a “me and God/Jesus/the Spirit” thing, as our focus on individualism has led us into the loneliness of the quietly desperate lives (or, these days, loudly aggressive lives) about which Thoreau wrote. God invites us into community, community that is not about winning and losing, but loving and sharing.
