>Live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, 
>be compassionate and humble.
>--1 Peter 3:8
>New International Version

>THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
>Unity and harmony are no accident! They happen because of intention 
>and submission. But more than just states of being, they are 
>commanded by God. How do we have unity and harmony? Peter reminds us 
>that we must have three commitments 1) actively share concern with 
>those who grieve; 2) share love just like a healthy family does; and 
>3) show compassion rather than arrogance as we deal with others 
>failures toward us.
>
>MY PRAYER...
>Father, I confess that I have let my own over-sensitive self be 
>wounded, and have reacted with pettiness when my brothers and 
>sisters in Christ have not treated me as I felt I deserved. I know 
>Jesus was treated so rudely and shamefully by those he created, so I 
>know I shouldn't be surprised. But Father, please help me to know 
>when to challenge those who wound me with a loving confrontation and 
>when to just ignore the barb and find a way to minister to them 
>because of some deeper wound in their life. Father, let me be an 
>instrument of your peace, harmony, and unity. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.

The LORD your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
         ~ Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
