We all want to be a part of a group and that is OK. Unfortunately, when you are part of a group you are just one more of them, whatever they may be. That is fine and there is nothing wrong with being a part of a group. Groups do great things. But people are who we have intimate relationships with not groups. Having a relationship with God is the most intimate relationship you could have.
The next most intimate is that of a married couple. God says draw closer to me and I will draw closer to you. So when people say, I believe in God in my own way, then it is not God’s way because you are competing with God. Guess who will lose? So if you are drawn to a group for its preacher, pastor, priest, leader or whatever, then you are in for a rude awakening. Let’s not pull or push each other into groups but draw ourselves closer to God first. If a group helps you do that, then great! If the RAULCORREA.COM helps you then great!
Remember not in our way, but in God’s way and let’s not try to build our groups but our relationship with Him. The space in between us is the area of our differences as we move closer to God, who should be the center of all our lives.
