"Jesus' feeling for the possessed man is different from his feeling for the beloved disciple; but the love is one. Feelings one "has"; love occurs. Feelings dwell in man, but man dwells in love. There is no metaphor but actuality: love does not cling to an I, as if the You were merely its "content" or object; it is between I and You." -Martin Buber
Often times the City is one of the hardest places to be. It is messy and confusing, busy and disfuctional. But Christians are called to community. For Martin Buber love occurs in the space between two reconciled individuals. We are meant to be in relationship with one another and part of growing in community is growing in our ability to serve eachother.
