God bless!
This is one of the hardest verses to swallow but it couldn’t be more on point. As Christians we have watered down our testimony at times so much that we spend our valuable hours on fighting, gossiping, hating on others, hating others and simply being liars. I know what you are reading isn’t making you want to say hip, hip hurrah but it’s the truth. We have to change, we cannot expect perfection without effort and hustle. Our walk in Christ demands a great deal of change from our “human” nature and a great deal of expansion into His super natural nature. I do have good news today though, we can do it! I know its hard (trust me I haven’t perfected it!) but His word tells us “we can do all things through Him”. How do we start? Just do it. Pick a person that you are having issues with today and reach out to them to simply say hello. It won’t kill you, in fact it will help you to be a vessel of change for good rather than a person that taints the name “Christian”. What if they hang up? Then move on to the next name. All we lose in this effort is a bit of pride but what we can gain is huge in the kingdom of God “A Soul”.
Realizing we can forgive!

1 John 4:20-21 “Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.”
