God, our righteous Husbandman, grafts each of us as a
branch into the vine of Christ (John 15:1, 5). He teaches us to balance our life. He reminds us
to set apart time to worship Him, to fellowship with His Saints, to play with
our family and friends and to help other people in their times of need.
God gives us wisdom during our workweek, and shows us how to improve both the process and progress of our day. God’s Spirit guides us supernaturally. He gives us power, as Christ's Body on the earth, to perform greater works than Jesus did (John 14:12).
We live for Christ, and He lives in and through us. We no longer strive, because we enter into His rest (Hebrews 4:10). We enjoy the transformed life with the nature of Christ in us.
We do not rely on human effort and legalistic performances for salvation, but on Christ’s righteousness in us. We are a fellowship of like-mind, authentic, Born Again Believers, and a Body with a common goal.
We commit to prefer, honor, love, accept, agree with, serve, bear with, submit to, forgive, admonish, encourage, build up and fellowship with one another. We are humble, sympathetic, compassionate, hospitable, and devoted to each other (2 Corinthians 5:21; John 13:34-35; Romans 12:10, 15:7; 1 Corinthians 1:10; Galatians 5:13; Ephesians 4:2, 5:21; Colossians 3:13, 3:16; 1 Thessalonians 5:11; Hebrews 10:25; 1 Peter 3:8, 4:9).

God gives us the discipline of forgiveness to keep our
relationships in right standing with Him and one another. We face the wounds
and feel the grief deeply in our heart.
Then we choose not to allow the offender to live rent free in our heart. If we do not forgive, He cannot forgive us (Matthew 6:14). We do not let him/her off the hook, but we put them in God's capable hands to mete our His revenge on them (Romans 12:19).

Prayer:
Father God, You amaze us in Your goodness to us. You think
of everything we need; sometimes even before we realize we need it (Isaiah 65:24)! We are
so grateful to You for making us fellow citizens in Your Kingdom. We are no longer outsiders and aliens in this world, because You made all of us members of Your own household (Ephesians 2:19). Your Word helps us to make sense of this world. We look forward to living with You in the new heaven and the new earth (Revelation 21:1).
Thought for the Day:
Behold how good and pleasant it is for the family of God to
dwell together in unity. - Psalm 133:1
