May the God of endurance and encouragement
grant you to think in harmony with one another,
in keeping with Christ Jesus,
Romans 15:5
Yesterday was not just an ordinary SpiritFm day. Fernando of the Morning Show married Lisa, and a baby was born to Jamie from the "Way Home" and his wife, Christy in the same afternoon. Wow! You see, words do not convey the excitement from the anicipation, and gratefulness I feel, and without using emojis, it is not easy to let you as a reader know how happy I am. Imagine the afternoon as the SpiritFM staff were witnesses at the wedding and simultaneously waiting for the news of the birth.
Let's go back to this letter of Paul to the Romans. Think of how he must have felt and tried to convey those feelings he learned as a convert, using mere words. We often say our God is a God of Love, but let us not forget He is God, so also the God of endurance and encouragement. Let's try this week to overcome disharmony, petty feelings, past grudges, all those emotions that keep us in discord, and pray for peace and harmony and unity. A good way to start is to encourage someone in need, to seek to make peace with someone who has been difficult.
