VERSE:
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has
any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself
through love.
-- Galatians 5:6

THOUGHT:
Ever notice how we get to fussing about things that are
important, but still aren't the most important things of our faith?
So often, when we get to fighting, the most important thing of all
gets lost. In the first century, this fight often had to do with
Jew/Gentile issues. While race, culture, and heritage are
important, what really is most important is faith expressing itself
through love. In our high tech world today, isn't it interesting
that the most important issue is the same as it was two thousand
years ago -- faith expressing itself through love?
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, please help us tear down every wall that divides and
separates your people. Forgive us for our pettiness and prejudice
toward each other. Stir in us a deep longing to share the unity of
heaven in our world today. In the name of Jesus, the atoning
sacrifice for all the peoples of the world, I ask this. Amen.
