Community
It has been studied by demographers that those areas around the globe
who belong to a community live longer up to 100 years in age.
As we see the time approaching...
In Hebrews, it tells us to gather together all the more as we see the time approaching.
Yah commands us to go up to Jerusalem 3 times a year.
Peter tells us we are lively stones fit together in 1 Peter 2:5 and other places Yah expresses his desire for us to be together. In 1 John he tells us to love one another especially our believing brothers and sisters and for us to do this we need to get to know them and care for them. In return hopefully they will learn to love us as well. Having a place to fellowship will help you grow closer to Yahweh as you study together and learn his ways you will grow closer and begin to care for each other.
You may think it is hard to fellowship with others but I think Yah wants us to grow and find ways to get along and learn to care for others.
As we learn to care for each other we can begin to have a charitable love as it describes in 2 Peter chapter 1 verses 3 through 7 as true charity should be the goal of each of us if we desire to do our part of making this world a little better while we are here on this earth.
One of the sins Israel was guilty of, according to Malachi, was that Israel did not do the good they were supposed to do. They had fallen away from the commandments Yah had given them for instruction on how to have peace, prosperity and joy. That is what our Father wanted for them. Together they needed to do the good things he had written out for them.
If we study these ancient words together we help each other to grow stronger.and more courageous which means less weakness and fear.

Grow closer and be involved in a community
If you want to grow closer to Yah, I believe you need to be involved in a community of believers so you can also bless others with the gifts and calling Yah has given you as the congregation is the place Yah will train you and perfect your gift.
You can bless others by participating in putting it together maybe you can help with the service, cleaning, yard work, bible study, the music, the dance, teach a class and other works but if you are not here we all will miss out on the blessing you bring. Every one has a part like those lively stones. If you are not being fitted in by Yah, how are you going to be part of that spiritual house he is building to praise him?
If you belong to a community, go as often as you can. If you have not gone to one go and find the one you feel Yah wants you to be part of and attend as regular as you can! If one is not close to you maybe you could start a home fellowship or join up to many of the online communities. You may need to move closer to one so you can participate on a more regular basis.
There is strength in numbers and when you are alone, it is not good and even dangerous as you become a target for our enemy. Let's fellowship and grow our roots deep together and each of us will produce good fruit as our Messiah said about the seed that falls into good ground. I know you have something very special to bring because Yah has called you out and now he calls you to come and fellowship.
D'vorah.
