"Same Mind"

Scripture Reading:
2 Corinthians 13:11 (HCSBO)Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be restored, be encouraged, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

Devotional Reading:

Paul's letter written to the church at Corinth, is applicable to all of us today.  Notice the passage says "same mind".  This affirms that we will not achieve perfection.  Being restored is a goal, even if we fall short of perfection, we should still be doing an excellent and admirable job.  There are a lot of "perfectionist" people in the world today.  Marriages are torn apart by one or the other partner having perfectionist standards.  Their standards are set so high that no one, even themselves cannot achieve.  Sadly they feel that they are perfect, in reality, they fall short just like all of us.  This self-competence and need to be in control of all circumstances eventually consumes them (and others), until burnout sets in, or the relationship is destroyed.  Striving for perfection is a goal, as God expects excellent servitude, but also know that God understands and is compassionate when you've done your best.  Do your best in all things.  If you let the Lord be in control, rather than ourselves, you will do no wrong! 

Keep the Son in your eyes,
