boy on unity

6.16.24 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i7yUUsZE2s]:

our feet get have at our own shame and it keeps our mind on our own name

we seem to assume worst intentions in others and assume they assume best in ours

loyal yoke fellow = valid member of family and fellow worker in gospel

ask = cease.. not just saying.. if you get a chance

wished he could just be that guy in that place when jesus returns to set people free.. we have so little power to set people free

1\ unity w others

mt 22-24 – first go reconcile then come offer your gift.. what you sacrifice to them you actually sacrifice to me.. that’s what the kingdom of god is supposed to look like.. not perfection at every turn.. but it is supposed to look like reconciliation at every turn

whatever conflict/burden you have.. shut it down.. bearing each other’s burdens.. he broke down the wall of hostility

2\ unity w self  phil 4:4-7  gentleness is like the total word for community.. all the time

anxiety = divided self

hesed = hebrew word for love, action verb, pursuit toward something.. ps 51 david right after sin w bathsheba.. hesed ness.. in the midst of me running away.. over take me.. because of your hesed.. 

phil 4:5 – he is near.. in the midst of whatever ness.. he can

greatest hope for peace isn’t that we can figure it out on our own.. it’s that the lord is near.. very near to your own heart.. not just some of the time.. he can.. all the time.. this separation has lost the war to love.. 

so when times we feel we can’t reconcile.. he is faithful .. every time

all this means.. unity w god is the ultimate good.. the peace we hope for

it’s not about a virtue list.. all found only at the closest proximity to him
