Just as the Son, who loves the Father does what He sees the Father doing, we are shaped by the people we love and  who love us. God has given us His covenant love—hesed—as the foundation for our identity. When that love takes root among us, we don’t just learn about Christ, together, we begin to look more like Him.So how do we build a community bound by hesed? Carve out unhurried time together—because joy isn’t found in isolation, it’s born when God’s people share life face to face. Have fun together.  Break bread often—around the table, gratitude grows, stories bind hearts, and prayers knit us into one family. When weaknesses are shared, cover them with tenderness instead of quick fixes, creating a refuge where honesty and healing can breathe. Let joy be the engine of our life together, so that when storms come, our first response is love, not fear. These everyday rhythms weave us into a family that reflects Christ’s own love—and together we will shine His light into the lives of others.
