Thank YOU! And God bless you! Glad you enjoyed the post! I was really excited when I read it last night, it gave me a feeling of hope...
Yes, the Peace Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi is good for that. His prayer does wonders "for getting my mind right" and my heart more in harmony with Him and His Plan.
It doesn't take a psych degree to see that we all are damaged, some much more so than others, and this damage, and the pain behind it, comes out in these discussions.
It's easy to see how Satan uses the openings this pain and damage have created within us to stir up antagonism, criticism, anger, mistrust, etc. among us and toward each other. None of those emotions are from God, nor do they follow Jesus' example or teachings.
Satan, otoh, knows his best hope is to keep the followers of Christ divided and at each other's throats.
Satan has thousands of years experience using our weakness, our human nature and the unforgiven hurt and damage the world has inflicted on each of us to keep us from following Christ.
Truly, we know the words, but the words don't know us, especially once Satan reminds us of our pain and then won't let us forget it nor forgive it.
No matter what many might say, Christian unity is not desired, unfortunately, by those who allow themselves to be lead by His enemy. By these fruits we know...
