Omnes unanimes | Unity of mind

Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. —1 Peter 3:8 (NLT)





My brothers and sisters,

What do you feel if your family do not admit you as part of them?

You might be angry, upset, disappointed. This feeling is a humanemotion. It means that we expect to be part or admitted to one family. Furthermore, we, as a human being, need to be loved. 

Love makes us full as humankind. When God created the world, He created everything out of His greatness and His love. God blew the spirit of love into man. We are shaped by God's love.

Fortunately, God created us different from each other. No one is exactly as same as the others. But despite our differences, we live in one world. This is a miracle. 

God's love unites us as one family. However, there is no family without conflict because of unfaithful and distrust to God and others. Nevertheless, God's love, through the precious blood of Jesus, wraps sinners like a mother's womb who bears her child. 

Let us thank God for allowing us to experience this beautiful life and to love each other beyond our differences in our strengths and weaknesses. God bless us.
