Set Your Sights On Things Above
We so quickly get our eyes off God. Let's get back into
perspective.

Can't we all just get along?We've had a few more squabbles at our house lately and it's made me think... I wonder how often God looks down at His kids and says, "Hey, can't we all just get along for awhile?" I mean He sends us a someone to help in one area, something we'd long been asking for, but then a bunch of people say, "Well, he's not perfect. He's got a mouth on him...and then some." Jesus says, "Yeah, Peter had a mouth on him too. Always putting his foot in it. Cutting people's ears off. Swearing he doesn't know me - cussing and cursing... Know what I told him to do even after all that? Feed my sheep." We pray for the conversion of celebrities. Celebrities are converted and we say, "Huh, prove it." God says, "I don't make YOU prove it before people should believe you... why are you asking them to prove it before you'll believe it?" We fuss and we fight until the world turns to us and says, "Hey, aren't you all supposed to love each other or something?" Well sure... Sure we're supposed to, but... No, we can stand for what's right without standing against our fellow Christians. We can remain uncompromised without criticizing everyone we think disagrees with us on every little thing. We don't have to LOOK like each other in order to LOVE each other. If we believe in the same God, believe in salvation through Jesus Christ alone, then stop fighting with others who also believe that same thing. Are we pushing AGAINST each other, or pulling WITH each other through the fray? |
