1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails (1 Corinthians 13:4-8). Jesus did not pray for a short-lived, unnatural similarity that would make an impression on people. He prayed for a timeless and heartfelt singleness that would bear witness to Jesus and prove to the cradle of humanity that He was sent by God. We love one another because He first loved us (1 John 4:19). Our prayer in this area of oneness should exemplify the mind of Paul to the Romans: May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God (Romans 15:5-7). One of the major causes of divisions among God’s people is majoring on the externals and neglecting or ignoring the internals. We build on accidentals, not on essentials. God help us to refocus our attention upon that which matters most. The next time we are tempted to declare war on a brother or sister, even if it is in thought. For when one takes action and speaks the words to another what do you think God thinks about these thoughts and action? Especially when they do not say to you "brother, sister why have you spoken against me, you who do not even know me? But those who are quiet and say nothing stay strong in the Lord as they know God looks over them and knows their heart when you do not. Only speak words that uplift eachother please the Heavenly Father says, why do you speak this way and spread this disease with your tongue that only defiles you? We can only pray this and say "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do, even when they do or should know better but as You have given us the freedom of choice and we as humans in the flesh at times disobey you and to know that we know to forgive those who tresspass against us, whether it be in thought or action. Our goal will Be to See God and have Him look at us at the end of our time and say: "Well done my child, Your race is over You have fought the good fight and you've kept the faith Enter into the EverLasting JOY of the LORD! Well Done My Child!
