Build A Bridge

Sometimes we become consumed with our differences.  I have allowed myself to be separated from God as well as be separated from other people by focusing on differences and shortcomings.  Somewhere on my journey I changed. I now believe when there is something large to overcome; we need to build a bridge.  Live and let live, build a bridge.Ephesians 4:1 Therefore I implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, 4:2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, 4:3 being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Most loving and amazing God, let us learn to do the things in this verse written by Paul 2000 years ago.  Let us learn to treat our fellow human beings with humility, and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love.  This world would be a different place if this could happen for even one day.  Guide us and give us grace and wisdom.  Amen

Hi Erin Jesus once said the judgment is the only sin and after thinking about that for some time, I understand what he meant.

Hi Wilma, As a society, we seem drawn to the judgment and intolerance these days. Being quick to anger and be offended is in fashion. I can tell from reading your blog you are a woman of grace, love, and wisdom. Thanks for stopping by.
