"Unity"

Colossians 3:13-15 "¹³ bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. ¹⁴ Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. ¹⁵ Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful." NASB 

In our daily lives we interact with a variety of different people with different  intentions, communication styles, gifting, and personalities.  Especially with our own family.  In some cases the home front is a battle field.  It is not easy to love  or to receive love in the wounded places of our hearts.  However, it can be done.  It is a process in which we continually accept forgiveness and give forgiveness to release us from the bonds of sin, anger, judgments made in the process of discord towards others, and shame. The road to healing  is a not just done individually but within a community gathered where the Love of Yeshuah is present.  It is a journey of love that when accepted  will bring restoration.  

This picture is a wonderful example of unity.  and peace. God's creatures can display a valuable lesson if i would just take the time to enjoy and watch them.  With the lens of my camera The Lord has allowed me to partake in such wonderful moments like these and reflect on them years later.  Take a moment to ponder and see what The holy spirit speaks to you about this matter of unity and love.  I am thankful for His creation and that includes you.
