Jesus is Jesus

Ephesians 4:1-7
      As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.  Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.  Make ever effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.  There is one body and one Spirit- just as you were called to one hope when you were called- one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all.  But to EACH ONE OF US grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.

      I had to ask for forgiveness AGAIN.  I let myself get upset by the actions of someone else, and instead of praying and asking God to show me what to do, in my head (and heart), I took the exact action as the offender.  Have you ever done that?  I think I do it on a regular basis.  I was instantly upset and hurt at someone, and I mirrored the action.  Though silently, and to myself, I still did it.  When will we realize that Jesus is Jesus and He doesn't care how we worship Him, as long as we do.  There is no right or wrong way to do it.  There are no rules.  As long as we are worshipping only Him and it is from our heart, He doesn't care.  He just wants us.  All of us. 

      So I ask God and anyone who reads this to forgive me for falling short once again.  I pray right now that the unity in spirit and our churches will grow.  I pray that we can all put aside our differences and focus on the issues at hand, reaching the lost for Christ, and showing His love to everyone, not just the people who are like us.
