Watching and Learning
As I looked out my bedroom window I saw a Dove, a Cardinal, and a Blackbird feeding together underneath a tree where a feeder hangs.
There was no aggression toward one another as they dined on seeds and nuts.
Not one of them made an attempt to lay claim to the area.
They stepped around each other with polite but cautious movements.
They realized in order to munch on the sunflower seeds and fat peanuts they would have to be tolerant of one another.
How easily they understood that some situations call for putting our true nature aside and adapt to our surroundings in order to get the job done.
This same thing can happen with us when we decide to except Jesus into our heart.
We trust Him and he shows us how we can adapt and change and lay down our old sin nature and become new creatures through Him.
His love teaches us how to live in harmony with those of different
cultures, backgrounds and beliefs.
We can learn to accept and handle tricky circumstances and people that life sometimes leads into our paths and we can do it peacefully with dignity and grace.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
