Acts 4:32
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had.
Now if the first part of this statement could really be true. It is definately telling us how we should be, but how many people really strive to make sure that is what goes on? We get so caught up in being so selfish and wanting to make sure that it is our way or no way, that we don't even take the time to stop and really think about what God wants. Sure we are going to have problems sometimes in wanting our way done, but that is not the Godly way in going about it. Step back and look at the situation, have you sincerely prayed about what it going on? Have you prayed with the other believers? If not, now is the time to practice what is written. When you are praying together and for one another, you will all know what God wants, and it is His will and way that is most important! Remember, Satan is doing everything he can to steal the joy of the members, don't you be the one to let him steal yours and then you be the one to steal it from others. Keep your eyes on Christ, talk to Him, ask Him what is right, and listen to His words, even if they are not what you really want to see done, and be the peacemaker. Strive to be the one that is in harmony with all the other believers.
