For the very glory You have given to Me I have given them so that they will be joined together as one and experience the same unity that we enjoy. You live fully in Me and now I live fully in them so that they will experience perfect unity, and the world will be convinced that You have sent Me, for they will see that You love each one of them with the same passionate love that you have for Me. John 17:22-23 TPT
I read these words and thought of how divided this world is and that it does not need to be so. There are some very powerful truths in God’s Word. If we are claiming to be God’s children then every verse, every word, every breath, of the Bible is ours to claim. With that thought in mind take a look at what He’s given us:
We are unified because Christ lives in us. That ‘connection’ is unbreakable when we ask forgiveness for our sins and believe that Jesus is the One and Only Son of God and our personal Savior.

The picture at the top is God’s Glory written in Arabic script.
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies 
as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:1-2
Our bodies belong to God because He gave His body for us.
We must live a holy life that becomes an acceptable sacrifice to Him.
Conforming to the culture of the world is unexceptable to our Holy God.
God transforms us when we allow Him to change how we think.
God’s will for us is good, pleasing to both Him and those around us. He is perfecting us to approach His Throne in Heaven where we will see His perfect holiness.
Blessings to you and yours!

GOD is striding ahead of you. Proudly, with importance in His step. He’s covering every second, every nuance of this day.
He’s right there with you. Not just ahead but in front, back, sides, up and down. In my mind, my heart, my soul. He has all of me. He’s covering every second, every nuance of this day.
He won’t let you down. He keeps all of His promises, faithfully. He never fails me.
Don’t be intimidated. There are bullies and controllers everywhere, including my inner mind! Stop listening to them. Only God is worth consistently listening to!
Don’t worry! Just stop letting whatever is bothering you have such control. God is in control. He has it all covered.
Blessings to you and yours!

When are we going to learn? When will we stop characterizing people by what we 
perceive as the color of their skin? God never intended this when He created us. We are all simply shades of one color.
There are as many as 250 shades of brown. They encompass all the ways God uses them in nature. The color is perceived as stable, safe, traditional, and conservative (from https://simplicable.com/new/brown-color). Add to that 30 shades of beige, all the combinations of those, and the possibilities are almost endless.
Where am I going with this? I’m tired of all the violence and drama related to the color of our skin. Consider this list of Not All…
What does God think of all this? Check out these verses.
And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased for God
persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. Revelation 5:9
Mandisa and Toby Mac say this so well in We All Bleed The Same. 
Here’s an additional thought… Black and white are not colors. Just sayin’ ………….
Make every effort to live in peace with everyone. Hebrews 12:14
Blessings to you and yours!
