1 Peter 3:8(NIV)
8 Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be
sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.
Unity and harmony are no accident! They happen because of
intention and submission. But more than just states of being, they are
commanded by God. How do we have unity and harmony? Peter reminds we must have
three commitments in our "church" lifestyle — 1) actively share the
sorrows and concerns of those who grieve; 2) love each other just like a healthy
family loves and values each member; and 3) show compassion rather than
arrogance as we deal with the failures of others that hurt us, recognizing that
we are vulnerable to sinning and hurting those we love, too.
Thought for today:
Do I seek to mend?
