connection

 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
— Romans 12:10 (NIV)
 
We live in a time where we are more connected than ever—and yet, somehow, more disconnected than we’ve ever been.
Our phones buzz. Screens glow. Notifications never stop. We can reach people instantly across the world, but still miss the person sitting right in front of us. Technology keeps us informed, entertained, and busy—but it can quietly pull us away from meaningful connection.
Presence requires intention.
It means choosing to put the phone down.
Choosing to listen without distraction.
Choosing to notice tone, expression, and emotion—not just words.
Jesus was never rushed. He wasn’t distracted by the crowd pressing in around Him. When someone needed Him, He stopped. He listened. He was fully present.
Being present is one of the simplest—and most powerful—ways we love others well. When we give someone our attention, we reflect the heart of Christ. We show them they matter. We remind them they are seen.
Sometimes the most impactful ministry we offer isn’t a sermon or a message—it’s our presence.
And when we learn to be present with people, we create space for God to move beyond these walls.
