“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.(John 17:20-23)What a word for these days; that those who claim the name of Jesus would be so unified that the world may see Christ in us! Yet there are so many factions . . . so many opinions . . . so many points of views. However, Jesus, our Master and Savior, pleaded and prayed to the Father for us to be ONE even as He and the Father were One! This takes prayer, but also a concerted effort to UNDERSTAND one another. Real conversations must take place without FEELINGS getting in the way. True healing requires for scar tissue to be broken through and sore muscles to be stretched. Jesus was about to go through much pain for our healing . . . He must have envisioned these days in which we are living. May we be ONE . . . That's my prayer too!
"In the Beginning", the daily REMINDER from The Carroll Outreach Mission (formerly The Sparrows' Nest or TSN), is intended to jump start your day with the Lord. The Bible opens up with , "In the beginning, God..." It is our prayer that you will use this tool to begin or "restart" your day with the Lord! Only what we do for Him will last in the end!
