Hello everypony! 🌈🎠
Here is today'
s #VOTD:
"May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus." [Romans 15:5 NLT]
❤️ The Lord is our source of strength, peace, endurancehen we ask Him for things such as Wisdom, He will provide them for us. Patience especially is difficult to bare on our own, and yet through the Holy Spirit, we can bare it to everyone, friend and foe alike.
🧡 Paul calls for unity and harmony amongst one another, as Jesus came to unite us under one house, not to divide us into many. He wants to see each and every one of us in our Father's home, under one roof, held in one large, ever-presently good pair of arms.
💛 In living in complete harmony with all it means we mast forgive, turn the other cheek, pray for and hold in our hearts all, not just those who are kind to us. Living like this, with forgiveness for self and for others, not wanting to jump the gun but to listen and forgive, is difficult but possible with God.
💚 In all that we do, may we aim to reflect Christ Jesus, in every action and breath. That includes the kindness we show others, the love and peace we extend, which is often times sacrificial. To all we must forgive, that all may receive the Lord's forgiveness, grace, and mercy; that we may one day see them again under our Father's roof.
💙 Patience takes time to grow, so start small. Forgive those who've hurt you in the past, and move forward removed from that weight. Apologize to those whom you've hurt int he past and can reach out to, and move forward knowing Christ has you by the hand.
💜 For Christ is harmony, unity, peace, love, strength, and so much more, and even in our hardest moments should we strive to reflect His glory onto others. That too includes grace, which we must show ourselves if we wish to show it to others.
