Love " One Another "

Good Morning!! All through the Bible, we find "one another" scriptures that instruct us in the kinds of caring action and attitudes that ought to characterize our relationships as brothers and sisters in Christ. God clearly defines what kind of relationships we should have,...and yet we so often fail to develop the type of relationships that He desires for us. And when we fail, we not only add unnecessary stress to our lives, and the lives of those around us,...but we also fail to exemplify the love of Jesus to unbelievers who may be observing.
then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.—Philippians 2:2 (NIV)

God has blessed each of us with gifts and talents and then placed us within a body of believers with a variety of gifts. As we live in harmony and love, focused on God's plan, we can accomplish so much more than if we each try to do our own thing. And along the way, we will develop relationships that we can count on,...relationships built on a foundation of God's love.

Ask God to help you relate to people in love and harmony, and build God's kind of "one another" relationship.

Lord, there are times when we let personal feelings and differences interfere with our relationship with other believers. Please forgive us and help us have the kinds of "one another" relationships described in Your Word. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

"God doesn't do what He does BECAUSE of us. God does what He does in SPITE of us."
