People Need People

"People who need people are the luckiest people in the world."  I can hear Barbra Streisand singing those familiar lyrics in my mind.  Even though that song was written in 1964 for the musical "Funny Girl," the words are still true today.  We do need people.  People who think they don't need people are, well, the loneliest people in the world.  We were made in God's image and He needed people.  That is why He created Adam and Eve.  We need human companionship.

You know what is so great about being part of a small group at the Grace Place?  It is a place where people need people.  I know when I need someone; they will be there.  No question.  When one of them needs me, I will be there.  No question.  Yes, there is committment involved but there is also love there.  I am lucky to have them.  To quote the song again, "A feeling deep in your soul, says you are half now you're whole, no more hunger and thirst, but first be a person who needs people."
