Come and sit a while beneath my tree or upon its billowy branches and rest a while with me....


In the past week I've heard a number of people speaking about pain and conflict happening in local congregations. I believe there is offense coming against these churches.Please pray for God's forgiveness and unity. Please bless every church body the Lord brings to your mind with the godly "rain" of forgiveness and unity. Pray for unity in your church and for at least one other church body. Pray for forgiveness where offense has been felt and unity where the enemy has tried to turn offense into division and broken relationships.God can enable us to give up our right to offense. Even when another's behavior or actions are hurtful, we can still choose to give up our right to offense and choose forgiveness and unity instead.We can do this in marriage. We can do this in our churches. We can do this in every relationship.In so doing, we can bring glory to Jesus and turn the enemy's tool of offense on its head!Pray! God's way is unity and forgiveness.
