Do Not Offend-Mend!
There is so much offense and division today on every level. Division is a burgeoning split that threatens our homes, our relationships, our communities, our country and the world. Most importantly, a divisive spirit can reside in your heart, for in the end, it is always a heart issue.
As followers of Jesus Christ we are called to “love one another.” This may sound easy enough at face value. But sadly, if you follow the news today it is hard to see this being played out. Do not let what is going on around you be discouraging. Start today in your little corner of the world and “love one another.”
It will pay itself forward. Do your part. The rest will take care of itself.
Do not look for instant results. In this microwave society it can be easy to become discouraged, offended and to allow heart fractures to corrosively diminish you.
Operate from a clean heart. Keep your focus on Him rather than what you see around you. Often, “loving one another” simply means to pray for someone. You are not called to step in and engage in every situation that comes your way. You are called to pray even for those who spitefully use you. Walk in discernment.
Things must turn around in the world today for us to live safe and free. As followers of Jesus Christ we are each called to be a light reflecting His love and compassion. It begins with you!
For it is written:
“Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart…”
1 Peter 1:22

Remember, it is always a heart issue!
“Yet who knows whether you have come to the Kingdom for such a time as this?”
