From the familiar song, “Let There Be Peace on Earth” come the words, “Let us walk with each other in perfect harmony.” No matter our differences, we have the same Creator. As you meet people today, take time to feel your kinship and oneness. Know that you are sharing a common bond—life itself.
No longer should we feel threatened by another, nor separate and apart from people anywhere on earth. What does it really matter that our language, color, and race are different? People are very much alike with the same basic needs and desires. Everyone has an inner urge for greater progress and growth. Today, let us remember that God is our Creator as we walk in harmony with other people.
Resolve this day that forgiveness will be the keynote of your spiritual endeavors. God will help you dissolve any grudge or resentment that is lurking in your heart. Freely forgive and forget any hurt of the past.
Realize that every person is important to God. Learn to trust the Spirit of God within others. Release them from your criticism and condemnation.
When we forgive others, we not only bless them, but we receive the greatest blessing of all. Our release from adverse emotions opens our lives to the healing, harmonizing, prospering power of God.
