From the time I was a little boy until he passed away I worked with my Dad. For a short time I worked for someone else but even then I would help him on my time off. I can’t remember a single argument. Not one!! I loved and respected him and he loved me. No question! It was a very good thing. God is so vast that we could never really fully understand him. Like the fact of the trinity. God is one but he is three. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Now even though we can’t grasp that there are things we can understand. One of those is the fact that God is a god of community. He loves and love is only good when there is someone to share it on. So before creation he had himself in three persons. They never argued or fought. They just loved and communicated. I think that’s what was so hard for Christ at the cross. For that moment while our sin was upon him their communication or fellowship was broken. The Father couldn’t look on his son with our sin covered all over him. So Jesus was alone. He did what he did so that we would never have to be alone. He created us to be a community. We need to be just that. 2 Timothy 2-23-24 says not to have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments because they produce quarrels. The Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone , able to teach, not resentful.
Wouldn’t it be great if our forever family(the church) had that same kind of relationship as the trinity of God ? I’ve experienced a great one with my Dad and can tell you, it’s far better than the constant turmoil of always nitpicking and arguing over silly things that in the end really don’t make any positive difference in anyone’s life! We have got to start displaying the love of God to people around us so they can see that God is good!! We do have a choice. All we must do is put our pride aside and chose to love one another!! God, you are so fantastically awesome that we cant even find a word to describe you!! I look forward to seeing you and spending eternity learning more of who you are and sharing that time with all of those who love you!! Thank you!!
When I end these writing from time to time I tell you I love you. I’m sure many of you who read this I have never met but I can tell you with certainty that I do love you because Jesus is in me and he has shown me that anyone can be loved!! And I do love you!! Have a great day!!
