The Limit of Presence

May 28, 2023 • Andrew Cullen • Mark 3:13–15

Everyone needs help, but we can’t help everyone. Everywhere has people, but we can’t be everywhere. Our presence is a limit. We have forgotten this limit because we live in a connected world. We can connect with anyone, anywhere, anytime. But our presence is both valuable and powerful. Embracing the limit of presence means that we help people take their next step by walking with them. Embracing the limit of presence means that we see the value in simply being present with people. Embracing the limit of presence means that we face-to-face is preferable to text, email, or Facebook. Embracing the limit of presence means that we look for who God is bringing to us rather than focusing solely on what is ahead. Embracing the limit of presence means that we prioritize loving the people in close proximity to us.
