A land mass completely surrounded by water.
What else is an island. An island can contain many things. Though at the basic level it is land. Land that is at the surface, separated from all other land by the water that surrounds it. However, that is only the portion we can see above the surface of the water and all we typically think about. At the base however all islands around our planet are connected to all other land. Yes there are faults and the tectonic plates and all that but I'm not here to get into that. What has been on my mind is the connection point. The fact that all land is fed by the same source whether it appears to be an "island" or an extremely large continent. Which if you want to get technical could probably also be considered an island, at least in my thinking :-)
Uh what's the point Wieb? My point is there are those who would try to separate themselves from others. Whether Christian or not. Some from the church try to go it alone. Some call themselves Atheist so they don't have to answer to God. However, at the base. We are all created in the image of God designed to be in an intimate relationship with Him. When we are not, we are not whole, we are not what we are intended to be. As if an island tried to float away from what holds it above the surface of the water. We all know without question it would quickly sink and be removed from sight.
Here's an interesting thought. No matter what you do with a piece of land. Drop it, throw it straight up, or into the water, it always go right back to another piece of earth. We are created not only to be in relationship with our creator but those like us. Other followers of the one who gives us all breath. As "Iron sharpens Iron". We must remain in contact one way or another with others who are seeking that relationship with Him. That we may be what we have been created to be.
Seek out those who are like minded. Walk and talk with them, learn from one to teach another. All of us are connected to the same source and if we stand together, grow together and spread that truth and knowledge together the whole world will see and know the source that feeds us.
Tap into that source available to each and every one of us if you are not already doing so. Jesus Christ is the only way to true life.
