Matthew 18:20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

Have you ever felt like being totally strange or out of place? Trying hard to fit in? Only to find out much later that everybody else feels as strange and tries to fit in just as desperately? What happens, if three persons then try to adapt their strangeness to anothers strangeness? Being in some deep water of their own? The useful thing to do is to adapt to God's mould of who a person is or could be. And in a gathering of three strange people to not envy this or that about another, but to know they are working as hard as anybody else on fitting in or moulding their life according to God's word. Everybody is strange and a stranger in some way or another. Then, when this can be acceppted without judgement of how different one is to another, or envy on what might be perceived as an advantage, then two or three getting together can acheive great things in prayer. This, unluckily enough, is very rare, for it is so rare that two or three amid God's people truly agree to pray for the same thing and agree with each other. So please, agree to the otherness of the other. And be one in prayer. Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” What happens, when two or three of us strange people get together?
