Have you ever thought about how beautiful the word “us” is? It’s a beautiful word. Two letters, smaller than “you”, bigger than “I”… A word that represents you and I, together. “Us” is a word that binds us to each other. It’s a word that is stronger than “I” by itself. “You” have to give up something so the other one can grow. But together, the word is unbreakable. “Us” can represent so many bonds. My best friend and I, she makes me stronger than I am alone and I love her dearly. Friends. My sister and I, we have a bond so deep that it is a mix of friend and family. Sisters. I’m not married yet but one day, my husband and I will be an “us.” This bond makes us one flesh, completely part of each other. Spouses. “Us” will never stand alone. As long as it’s “us” and not “I,” “you” have someone, stronger than yourself when you’re weak, and who can love you when you’re unlovable. You and I meet in the middle and give something up to gain something in the end. You can bring me farther than I can go alone. Like Jesus Christ does for us.

Jesus, I am brought to God by You, something I can’t do alone. You bring us before our Father. You are strong when I am weak. You love me when I am unlovable. You lowered yourself to my level. You came to me. You forged a bond between US.

And that’s…. A Thought to Think
