We may fuss,
but there is nothing on earth that shall ever come between us
we may bicker and argue sometimes about trivial matters
but what's important is where we end up in the latter
After we disagree, can we make up and acknowledge that our love for each other grows
I care for you, you care for me, and we both understand we reap what we sow
Sometimes I may act immature
and just like kids, demand our own way
but we are Christians, brothers and sisters at the end of the day
No one can get their way all of the time
I have to be patient with you and you with me
whether we sing a song or rap a rhyme
God loves us and wants us to work with each other
we're human and won't always get things right so we go on forgiving yet another
I am gonna encourage you, and you me
it doesn't matter if I'm not always your cup of tea
Paul in Acts 15 wanted to leave John Mark behind
Barnabus said give him a second chance to travel this journey in-kind
Paul simply was not having this nonscence
the two yet spiritual, decided to part ways
That wasn't the end of the story,
both apostles in the end were going to be saved
Let us not be surprised when as mortal man we disagree
It just comes with the territory of being a true family
Even God reasons with us
it does not matter if we disagree
We wrestle with His Word at times and dont want to walk in harmony
When we are done being frustrated
we get over our small troubles
it is never worth separating too long
allow our love to overshadow in doubles
We may fuss,
but there is nothing on earth that shall ever come between us
we may bicker and argue sometimes about trivial matters
but what's important is where we end up in the latter
First of all, it may not be a matter of salvation but Bro White looks very handsome in suits and I pray that he never stops wearing them. (That is another subject!, bless-ed Sis White (smile))
Acts 15:36 Paul and Barnabus disagreed over a small matter, yet the contention between them was not small. It was actually so heated that the two parted ways; Barnabus with John called Mark, and Paul with Silas, whom the church commended. The two also later joined with Timothy who was a faithful man, being raised by his mother and grandmother who were Jews, yet his Father was Greek.
In Bro White's sermon, we learn that not only was Paul a historical slayer of those who were Christians, but when he was converted, he had some growing to do as well. As Christians, we can be very hard on ourselves and on each other to sometimes our very own detrimant. We should give ourselves and each other space and opportunity to grow. Some of us as brothers and sisters may be surprised at the nature of God in that he did not send fire from below to consume Paul and Barnabus for their disagreement with each other. When we wrong each other, even when we have to give a little space to each other, we should be able to uphold each other, forgive each other, and still be able at the end of the day to work with each other,,,and all for love's (the gospel's) sake.
All things really do work together for our good...even heated discussions, and parting of ways when we need to. Paul and Barnabus uncomfortable separation led to church growth. Our God is a winner! And as we follow Him, we win! Let us all, never allow the small things to slow us down. Our enemy sometimes makes us think that they are big, but they are really not that big. May we continue to Love each other, forgive each other, to have the same goal and the same purpose...to go ye into all the world... teaching and baptizing. This is what our brother Jesus would have us do.
