2nd post for the night

i was just reading through Ephesians 4,
1As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.
2Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
3Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
4There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called—
5one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

This is a great passage...
Do you live up to what you have been called to... i know that i don't always... and it is a great challenge.
Also it goes on to some of the things that we are called to ... to be humble and gentle, patient, live in unity and peace
Sometimes that is a hard call to follow... and by ourselves we fail... i know i always do if i try to do it myself...
but we don't have to do it by our selves... thankfully, the Spirit which is in each one of us units us, gives us something in common,
and also allows the love of Christ to flow through us.
this passage, urges us to get pass all the little differences that we may have in the way we do things, and focus on the one Awesome thing we have in common.,.,
Christ.
I love it how God calls us to something than provides us everything thing that we need to accoimplish it, (if we are open to recieving it from Christ).
I also think this is a good passage for this week, as i am going to be at a basketball carnival, and i will be living, playing and hanging out with my team...
So basically with the same people 24/7, and not all are Christians yet... which means there is awesome opportunity to show God's love and community to them and invite them into it.
