Pretty soon the swaying,
scarf wearers will begin to sing along with him. Ahh, there it is. Oh! And some
clapping. It seems so perfectly right for us to chime in this way. A handful of
strangers sharing a same thought, laughing through half-sipped coffee cups, and
crescendo-ing from secretly humming along in our chair to piecing confidence together
from nods and smiles until we’re boldly singing with each other.
Or perhaps the two sets of
friends who have brought their Bibles, seeking the Kingdom of God and putting
holy words into relational terms. This moment is my favorite of the night. What
a beautiful picture of the way God created us. We are so relational and a lot
of times it’s easier to forget.
It’s the reason why
hearing people sharing jokes and watching them stand to greet friends is so
refreshing. The explanation behind why a handful of people joining together in
song is so impactful. Don’t we all want to be shamelessly known? To be
identified with a group and share moments of unity with others? And the best
part is that we are. We are
shamelessly and visibly known by Christ.
Now “Gravity” slows to an
end and we all snap, glad to know and be known.
