Psalm 133:1

How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!

 

En Espanol, Salmos 133:1

 

quote

 

The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is, because man is disunited with himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

thought

 

I suggest that the disunity within the individual is due to an individual’s disunity with God.  It is in God that we find our being.  It is through knowing God that we find wholeness and are better able to understand what it rightly means to be human.  Knowing God helps me to know myself and knowing myself helps me to love others because of how God loves me.

Scripture

 

Philippians 2:14-15 (New International Version)

Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe

 

En Espanol, Filipenses 2:14-15 

 

Thought

 

I caught myself grumbling the other day about something I was asked to do, and this afternoon I had prayed specifically for opportunities to serve.  So I was listening to the radio the other morning and they were talking about the ’30-Day No Grumble No Mumble No Whining Challenge’.  I dare you to take it.  Think you are up for it?  http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/kloveradio?ref=ts

James 1:27

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

quote

 

Man has made orphanages for children, but God made the family for children.
