Romans 15:5
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,
There is a verse a little farther down in Romans 15 that I believe goes well with today’s verse. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” (Romans 15:13). You combine these two verses and you have the perfect blessing over everyone’s life. What more could you ask for?
I have to point out though, the last portion of verse 5 is so important. Can you imagine what the world would be like if we all had the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had? If we could only take a moment and look past our differences and love each other anyway.
Can I tell you a secret? The entire world will never gain this attitude, but you can. Your world can be governed by this thought. You can spread Christ’s love for others by simply loving others. Grab on to that joy, peace, hope, endurance, and encouragement that God so freely gives. Then pass it on with the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had.
Lord, I want an attitude like Yours. Help me share your love toward others today. ~amen
