I wonder on this Day set aside for Unity in Spirit...how many of our brothers and sisters continue to remain on the outside looking in...while many a Service will shout Unity from its pulpits, we each continue to struggle to bring the Church into full Unity as HE has called us to do from the very beginning. Even for those of us who try, we find ourselves doing the very same thing in our efforts to unify the communities in which we live, we still enevitably will leave someone out...Only in our total submission to the Holy Spirit with a True and Loving Heart of Unity...not just for this one day but everyday for everyone for evermore will we only begin to come into full Unity of Spirit, Love and Harmony with God and Each Other...In HIS Service...Terry

The Scriptures tell us there is no distinction – through Faith… yet we find ourselves so often in a state of separation - from one another; from our faith; from ourselves and from God…mercifully His unfailing love for us ensures the gift of grace…for each of us who call on the Name of the Lord…and still we find ourselves living separate lives from the fellowship of one another in the Love He has commanded of us…To Love as He has loves us…separated from true faith in a loving God…living the covenant He has set before us…The Word/Scriptures tells us there is no distinction and yet we continue to make distinctions of distinctions, distracting us from the truth…God Loves each and everyone of us…we are to be doing the same…instead of finding ways to get out of it…Do Not confuse our Differences with Distinctions; we are all uniquely created individuals, loved children of God…The Word also tells us that Love covers a multitude of sins…we too must change ourselves first - Make no Distinctions - if we allow ourselves to truly Love one another…as He has shown us how…we will be able to see what HE sees in us and others…and change the hearts and minds of those around us…by our actions…there is No Distinction in Faith…we are all truly in this together…He makes no distinction in faith and neither should we…He loves us and wants for us to Love Him and each other with the same unfailing commitment… search out the heart of God as he searches the heart of each of us…remember things, [people, actions, reactions all of it] – are not always what they appear…we must get to the heart of it all - with whoever we come into contact…it is what is in the Heart that matters most…the heart of a person will always out speak anything that could ever be said…does our/yours reflect the Heart of God ?
