So, in a world of social distancing, how can you find meaningful connection? Here are 3 connections you can make: Connect with others online.
- Call a friend, FaceTime them or connect on a Zoom call. Talk to them just as you would on any other occasion. Just because we’ve been social distancing for a while doesn’t mean someone doesn’t need to be encouraged and talked to. Cheer them on and root for them in whatever they are doing. Be the encouraging person.
- 1 Thessalonians 5:11 says, Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
- Connect with an online Bible Study group. You can create one through YouVersion. You could also create a Facebook Group as a Life Group.
- In James 4:8, ESV it says, “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you”. You may be isolated but you are not alone. God is with you. Use this time as an opportunity to connect with God and grow in your faith.
- Embrace the Isolation. I know it is hard to be still and not do much, but use this time to ask God to minister to you and guide you. He could teach you some very important things about yourself. Be open to that and embrace it.
- Connect with your family. We have become so busy in the world that we don’t know how to relax and enjoy the company of others. Take time to embrace this time. It will be gone before you know it and you’ll regret not having this opportunity again. This very well could be just the time you and your family need together to make new memories and start new traditions.
