But we don't have to do that. We are new creatures in Christ. We can take time to listen. We can really look at someone. We can try to get past our old notions of each other and get to know each other today.
This challenge is impossible for people alone, but if you ask God to help you with this it can happen. And I think it will be extremely rewarding. I'd love to know my brothers as they are as adults in their professions and what they've experienced. And, I'd love to be friends with my mom -- woman to woman. It can happen. I've seen it happen for other people. How about you?
