A spiritual comment and prayer to begin the day with Richard Oppong Boateng
Good morning.
I am an avid football fan. However, the team that I support seem to be in the newspapers every other day and not for storming the top of the table either. There seems to be no unity within the team.
Unity is a small word that can make a massive difference. This reminds me of the passage in the bible found in 1 peter chapter 3 verse 8 where it says: 鈥淔inally, all of you have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind鈥.
There are too many times when I have had a singular mindset and allowed my heart to become hardened instead of tender. But imagine what your community, and even nation could look like if we chose to live out the words we just heard鈥︹. Imagine what my football team would look like!
As you get ready for your day ahead, I want to put out the challenge for you to be a person that actively looks to build unity, show sympathy & love to all people, be tender hearted and show humility. It鈥檚 a big challenge but one that I think you are up to!
Father God, thank you for allowing us to see another day, as we enter the busyness of the day, would you help us to be a person that aims to build unity and help us to live out unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, help us to have a tender heart, and a humble mind.
Amen.
