Live together in unity!
Psalm 133:1
With the Cold War over, American and Russian seem to
be looking bat each other in a new way. Imagine being an
American soldier stationed in Bosnia-Herzegovina, working
alongside your Russian counterparts How do you work
together after decades of mistrust.
American and Russia bofficers who were asked this
question agreed that when it comes right down to it, people
are people, and soldier are soldiers. When there's a goal to
reach, one finds a way to communicate. The mission is kept
in focus, ground rules are established, language barriers are
overcome, mutual interests are dicovered, and before long,
friendship develop!
The early Christian believers certainly though they had
An enemy in Saul of Tarsus, and the feeling was mutual. Saul
was extremely active in persecuting Christian in Jerusalem and
was determined to deal the same harsh blows to believers in
Damascus. But then Jesus appeared to him and his life was
Dramatically changed.
Believer in Damascus were suspicious of Saul when he
arrived and declared he was also a believer in Jesus Christ.
But as they witnessed his manner of living God dramatically
changed their hearts. In the end, the apostle Paul became an
ardent friend of believers everywhere.
Have you secretly been at "war" with a co-worker or
Neighbor? Begining today make a concerted effort to find
common ground with that person. Smole when your instinct
tell you to grimace. Stay focused on your goals and stick to
the ground rules when working or volunteering together. Talk
to them. Seek out hobbies, concerns, or family interests you
hold in common. Start treating the person as you would a
friend, not an enemy. That the fun begins!
The Bibles says to love your enemies and pray for those
who despitefully use you, and in doing so you heap coals upon
Theirs heads. ( see Roman 12:20.) The coals are blessing!
When you sos blessing you reap blessing
Now it Christmas time do it to a friends!!
Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!!!
