Day 32--God brings people together.

“This past summer I went to Marvell, AR on a mission trip with my youth group.  God completely blessed me during this trip because I was able to meet some now lifelong friends from Virginia and able to help the young children of this small town.  It was a completely uplifting and spiritual high that I have God to thank for.” –Samuel L. W., Esq. III

Ever wondered how so many people, from different all walks of life can, despite all their differences, come together in peace?  When God is at the center it matters not what your differences are.  We CAN live in harmony.

“For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.” Matthew 18:20

Jesus’ ministry was all about loving God and taking care of those around us.  Differences are bound to pop up.  Quarrels are inevitable.  But when we put God first no matter what we are doing, and especially in working with others, we allow Him to bring us together like nothing else can.

Being part of a family of believers is important.  God’s family reaches from church to church, city to city, state to state, country to country all across the globe.  His love connects us beyond anything else. 

Think of the people God has connected you with.  If there’s someone on this list you have a hard time with, remember that person is God’s child, too.  Pray that God come into your heart and help you to see him/her for God’s purpose and not just your own.
