No fighting

The 2nd Sunday in Advent

Abram said to Lot, “Let’s not have fighting between us, between your shepherds and my shepherds. After all, we’re family. ~ Genesis 13:8 (MSG)

What we have is one body with many parts, each its proper size and in its proper place. ~ 1 Corinthians 12:20 (MSG)

KEY IDEA:
Our differences as unique members of the body of Christ should be seen as a good thing and not reason to fight.
PRAYER:
Lord God -- you are one -- even though you are three Trinitarian persons. And you are in total harmony together. I pray that we as siblings of Christ might get along with each other in the same way that you in the Trinity get along with one another. Even though I'm quick to jump into a fight I know that you desire something different from me. Help me to acknowledge the wonder of many diverse parts so that we can better reflect who you are. Amen.
