How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony.

Psalm 133:1 NLT Bible

What an ideal world it would be if everyone could live together in peace and harmony. Sadly this does not happen. There's discord and strife at home, at work, in governments and even in churches. God desires us to live in unity with each other. We have to realize that we are not all the same. We  have different personalities, abilities, strengths and weaknesses and we need to love and respect each other. 

Disunity causes stress, tension, unhappiness and quarrels. Many things can contribute to lack of harmony......envy, rage, hatred, pride, selfishness, gossip, being easily offended and the list could go on and on. Loving and understanding each other is the key to living harmonious lives. As believers in Christ Jesus, we must learn to forgive, to let go of grudges, to overlook faults, to love, to listen, to allow others to 'shine', to be happy when they succeed and learn to compromise on issues, while still adhering to the truth of God's Word. Living in harmony and unity is what God expects from us, and with His help we can achieve this.

Thank you Lord for this day. Fill me with Your love and help me to live in unity and peace with those around me, to love, respect and appreciate them. I love you, Jesus.  Amen!

Be Blessed!
