“ We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers.”– Martin Luther King, Jr.
1 Peter 3:8 Finally, all of you must live in harmony, be sympathetic, love as brothers, and be compassionate and humble.
Psalm 133:1 Look how good and how pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!
Sure we read in scripture we are all to get along, after all we are family. Jesus is the first born of many brothers and sisters.
Romans 8:29 (NIV) “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.”
A true brother is always there for you. This was evident today in the most normal yet profound way. My little foster grandson got another little bundle delivered to his house. I watched to see if he would be jealous or hurt. He immediately loved on the little guy. He wanted to feed him and hold him and love on him. I thought of the scriptures in the bible about brothers but I also thought of the one about us needing to be like a little child. (Matthew 18:2-4)
Then there were several other scriptures that shared what kind of love we are to have for one another. Yesterday being the day our big brother arose from the dead I think we needed a little reminder about how we are to treat one another. We need to treat one another like my little grandson treated his new brother—with gentleness and care. We never outgrow the need to be treated gently and with care, and a little loving kindness never hurts either.
Proverbs 17:17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a difficult time.
Proverbs 18:24 A man with many friends can still be ruined, but a true friend sticks closer than a brother.
Today love on your brothers and sisters. Treat one another with tender loving care and remind yourself that’s what our Big Brother did and that made all the difference.
