Together

Good Morning!

Folks, we are in this thing called “life” together! Not one of us can claim to be totally self-sufficient. We all depend on someone or something else. So why do we quarrel and fuss?

Now don’t worry, I am not in a fuss with anyone. I just happen to look at the verse of the day for yesterday and saw this:

Romans 14:5-9 English Standard Version (ESV)
5 One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. 8For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. 9For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

Actually, verse 8 was the verse of the day … but I really like verse 7. We are truly in this life together. And yet we go about finding fault with one another and talking (negatively) about one another. You are my brother or my sister and I am your brother … we belong to the family of God. We need to support and encourage one another … especially in these last days when it seems the world would rather perish than to accept the precious gift of God.

So … for today … go forth and do well. Or as us golf nuts say “hit ‘em straight and long”.

Agape’
