(Bonus) Day 27: Love and Unity

Scripture:
"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Encouragement:
Many times throughout the word we are reminded of the importance of love and unity among believers. Moving forward involves fostering loving relationships and maintaining unity within the community. This is easier said then done. When we hurt by people in various ways it makes it difficult to work together. We need to change our perspective and extend grace. There were times we didn't get it right and someone showed us patience. If we displayed more love one toward another it decreases the opportunities for discord. Lets me be real-can you do EVERYTHING by yourself? Sure you can try, but you’ll be frustrated and burnt out. If you had a issue with your brother or sister talk to them and fix it, if someone crosses your mind pray for them, if someone needs help don't hesitate to assist. We all need one another. I love you and there's nothing you can do about it!

Prayer:
Hello God, its us again. Thank you for your grace. Help us to be more patient and understanding to others. Lord help us with the words to say when resolving conflict. We don't want to operate in bitterness and anger. Help us to be honest yet considerate, truthful yet impactful, working together to fulfill your kingdom. Allow your spirit to guide us to truly love one another how you love us. In Jesus name. Amen.
