Be of ONE Mind

"If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

I had a tough week already being wrestled at work.

I can't really say what but I had the feeling of rudely intruded a few times.

Well, as I spent time with the Lord on Mon night, I was reminded of this verse which my dear UU shared during last Thursday's YA cell group.

Then the Spirit gently reminded me to lower myself and serve my brothers.

That was when the peace of God flooded my soul and the anger dissipated.

Coincidentally one of my members is going through a season of anger management :) hohoho... think the Lord is using this to help me appreciate what he's going through :)

Our God is a multi-tasking God! He achieves many things at one shot!

Was it difficult the next day? You bet, but I thank the Lord for a renewal and His word that gives me strength to move on. :)

Amidst all, if there is another lesson that I learned from this episode, it is that I came to examine my own shortcomings as well and submitted myself to the humbling by the Lord to see the plank in my eye before I see the speck in my brother's eye.

Hallelujah!
