AMEN!
We have ONE FATHER, One LORD. There is One Spirit. We are IN Christ Jesus.
But we are all have different personalities and different experiences. Some of us are in 1st grade and keep repeating 1st grade while some of us are getting our 'PhDs' from the Holy Spirit 'University'.
We must exercise patience with each other and learn from the BEST...JESUS who was extremely patient and yet firm in teaching his disciples. He loved Peter and yet how many times did he rebuke him? And now compare Peter to John? How many times we read Jesus rebuke 'the one He loved' who we all assume was John.
Did Jesus love John more than Peter? Noooooo but Peter didn't catch on as quickly as John did imho.
Compare the hand and the foot. How often does the foot and the hand meet? Yet they are both connected to the body...both very important members with very different functions. We don't walk with our hands and we don't write with our feet...and unless the brain tells the hand to touch the foot, they're not going to touch.
If we keep searching the scriptures prayerfully with
CHRIST as our focus, our center, loving Him as He loves us, the Holy Spirit will guide us and teach us how to be One with each other.
