Through Spiritual Connectedness, I Find my Strength.
Knowing that I am a member of the human family and belong to a greater community of faith awakens my inner sense of spiritual strength and power. James Dillet Freeman, once described redwood trees as the perfect metaphor for this shared spiritual strength. “You know, you’ll never see a redwood standing alone,” he said. “It takes several of them to intertwine those shallow roots and remain standing. Redwoods are like us, I suppose. They find their strength in community.” My spiritual roots are intertwined with all of humanity. I am strengthened by my shared interconnectedness in God.
The hearing ear and the seeing eye—the Lord has made them both.—Proverbs 20:12
