That's the enemies plan you know... divide and conquer... separate people... put a wedge  between husbands and wives... between parents and children... between clergy and laity... between management and labor... between anybody or anything... that is the enemies plan... it works...he does understand scripture pretty good...  “Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself shall not stand."

I asked a question the other day to end my thoughts about this whole divide and conquer thing...  "What should it really look like…. what do I need to do to change things…  ?"

What it is supposed to look like is... One... two become  one... one mind... one heart... together  with others... It is time to just stop  believing this lie that we are supposed to be isolated... independent... individualistic... the old cliche that if I don't take care of me, no one  else will... all that baloney... stop believing that everyone  is out to get me...

...and it is time to start trusting God and His plan  for our lives... regardless what stuff hits our fan... and no longer allow anything to come between  us and others...... so long as it depends on us.... that's just a choice away....

Stop both the gossiping  and listening to gossip... that stuff is insidious... dangerous.... stop all the negative comments  about others that will only drive a wedge between them and others... alienate them from others... separate... divide.... just speak truth... but speak it in love... understanding that we all need each other... and we desperately need not only relationships with others... but we need to start with  a relationship with God.... become One with Him  first... that's what makes it possible to become one  with others...

And nothing... absolutely nothing  can ever separate you from your relationship with Him... nothing can ever separate  us from God's love.... nothing...
