社群是… 为你而设的
福音的信息是为我们每一个人而预备的。在马太福音中，耶稣指出，就是地上的好父亲，也会供给儿女所需的，那么，当我们祈求、寻找、和叩门时，我们天上的父岂不更会向我们施展更大的爱呢？无论在什么时候，我们都可以得到天父完美的爱的！
身为基督在世上的代表，我们蒙召向我们遇见的每一个人分享神的爱，去邀请其他人与我们和与神 － 那位以超越我们想像的爱来爱我们的天父 － 同享社群生活。
如果你属于一个基督徒社群，你需要邀请其他人加入，并与他们分享你在那里尝到的爱。基督徒社群是永远不会额满和永远不会拒人于门外的，它时常都会开放和在扩充，来与别人分享神的爱。尽管我们的爱有限，但神的爱却永远是无限的！
你若仍未找到一个你可以参与的基督徒社群，我恳请你去寻找一个，找一个有爱心和关怀、并且符合我们在这个月描述的上述特征的社群，你可以奉耶稣的名祈求神带领一个与你分享这一切的人来到你身旁，或去找你认识的一个基督徒，叩他的门、请他们也去爱你。
父啊，求你感动我们，去寻找一个优秀的社群，又在我们每一个人的周围，安排一个我们可以参与的社群。奉耶稣祈求，阿们。
马太福音 7:7-12
7“你们祈求，就给你们；寻找，就寻见；叩门，就给你们开门。
8因为凡祈求的，就得着；寻找的，就寻见；叩门的，就给他开门。
9你们中间谁有儿子求饼，反给他石头呢？
10求鱼，反给他蛇呢？
11你们虽然不好，尚且知道拿好东西给儿女，何况你们在天上的父，岂不更把好东西给求他的人吗？
12所以，无论何事，你们愿意人怎样待你们，你们也要怎样待人，因为这就是律法和先知的道理。
Community Is . . . For You
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." - Matthew 7:7
The message of the gospel is for each and every one of us. Jesus points out in the gospel of Matthew that even a good earthly father gives his children what they need. How much more, then, will our heavenly Father show his love for us when we ask, seek, and knock? God the Father’s perfect love is available to us all the time!
As Christ’s representatives here on this earth, we are called to share God’s love with everyone we meet. We are called to invite others into community with us and with God, our heavenly Father who loves us more than we can possibly imagine.
If you are part of a Christian community, you are called to invite others in and to share the love that you are a part of with others. Christian community is never full and is never closed. It is always open and expanding to share God’s love with others. Though our love may have limits, God’s love never is never limited!
If you haven’t found a Christian community to be a part of, please search for one. Seek one that is loving and caring and has the characteristics we have described here this month. Ask God to have someone show up in your life to offer all of these things to you in Jesus’ name. Knock on the door of someone you know who is a Christian, and ask them to love you too.
Father, move us to seek community in all of its positive forms, and gather around each one of us a community to belong to. For Jesus’ sake, Amen.
