Ephesians 4:2 (NLT)
2 Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each
other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.
These are great words when it comes to relationships with
others. We should be humble and gentle towards one another; for arrogance and
harshness will create bitterness in any relationship. Allow room for one
another’s faults out of love for each another. When we humbly correct a fault
we win over the person to show them our concern for their care.
Time printed a photograph of the back of Washington
Redskins quarterback Jeff George (his helmet off, revealing a big,
white-skinned bald spot) sitting on the bench flanked by two African-American
teammates, each with a supportive hand on his shoulder.
The caption read, "What counts most in creating a
successful team is not how compatible its players are, but how they deal with
incompatibility." ["We
Illustrated," Time (11-18-02)]
There are differences in each of us, both physical and
mental. We have different thoughts, different objectives and different goals.
We must however learn to put the differences aside so that we may show love
towards each other. We can start this process by being humble and gentle with
each other and allow for each other’s faults.
