Scripture of the Day 9/21

23Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

Matthew 5:23-24 (NIV)

*"First go and be reconciled to your brother, then come and offer your gift." Reconciliation. The act of making amends with somebody you have a sort of tension with. When you're holding a grudge with somebody it hurts the Body, and we pretty much can't minister that well in a crippled body. It can even be something about somebody that might be proving to be an annoyance to you, but you haven't told them about it. Something like that can hinder us from getting at the people that God wants us to get at. Now there may be that person at work, at school, at home or anywhere that really irritates you, but we have to remember that Jesus didn't let anything stop Him from going about God's will. See, Jesus ministered to many people and He didn't let any characteristic of anybody stop Him. See, just like that one guy in the Gospel named Legion because of the legions of demons within him. Nobody wanted to go near him because he was crazy and bent on hurting anyone who would come close to him. But Jesus didn't care, He went up to Him and healed Him. No matter who they are, where they're from, how they act, every single person on this world is God's creation. So when it comes to our walk, there is no room for tension between anyone. Be a brother/sister to everyone regardless of who they are because Jesus didn't only die for those you like, He died for everyone, even for those who didn't even like Him. Have that unconditional agape love of God for everyone. Remember this guys. God bless!*
