We are growing together in love. God is maturing us and
teaching us that we must love one another. How do we do
this when we are part of such a big family? We need wisdom
and knowledge to know how to respond to one other.
Each member is at a different place in the body of Christ.
Each member is not at the same place in the Lord as often some
are just saved and others have been walking with our Lord for
many years. How do we respond to what others say and do?
Are we always responding in love? Is there a way of saying something
in a kind way? What do we do when someone has a different opinion than
we do? We are not to accuse one another but love one another.
We were told that this is what would make us different. Do we have
love one for another? Do you have love for another? This is where the
rubber hits the road beloved. Are you walking in love today? Am I?
Let us choose the higher road. The narrow road that leads to live and
love one another as Christ loved His church.
Pray for one another and put a watch at the door of our heart and
a bit in our mouths. James mentions our tongue. We need to walk softly
before the Lord. We need to speak softly to one another. Our Words
need to be few. We need to allow the horses bit to be in our mouth.
God will use us as we allow His sweet presence to permeate our very
being. Speak softly, respond softly with words that lift up. Walk softly
before the Lord. God sanctify our tongues and let us be led of the Spirit
at all times. A friend loves at all times. Christ in us will help us to love
one another with a pure heart fervently. Ask the Lord that you will walk
in love toward your brother and sister’s today. By this shall men know
that you are Jesus disciple.
Scripture to Ponder
For we all stumble in many things.
If anyone does not stumble in word,
He is a perfect man, able to bridle the
whole body.
James 3:2 (NKJV)
