Can You Take a Hit For the Team?

Be completely humble and gentle, be patient, bearing with one another in love. Can you do that is the question. You may not have a personality that conforms with this verse naturally. But by yielding to God’s teachings and precepts, over time you can do this. Now do you want to participate with this part of being a doer of God’s word in thought, purpose and in your actions. Our own will of feelings, and comfort will not be allowed to express their input. We walk by faith, not by sight nor by our feelings (2 Corinthians 5:7). We are in the body of Christ once we are saved and have entered into the family of God. In the body there are many different personalities and ideas, and attitudes (1 Corinthians 12:12-27). The propensity for conflict amongst the brethren is very likely if there’s no guidance of love. Love would say to all, be completely humble and gentle, patient and bearing with everyone in love. Sometimes you just have to take a hit of offense for the greater good.
