Brother
Am I your brother in Christ?
Or am I your brother because of Christ?
Do you see me in the flesh or in the spirit?
Am I a number in the midst?
Or do I rest in the same palm as you?
Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.
We that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves.
In lowliness of mind let us esteem each other better than ourselves.
Bear ye one another’s burdens and so fulfil the law of Christ.
A new commandment I give you, love one another as I have loved you.
He who loves God loves his brother also.
He that loves his brother abides in the light.
He that sanctifies is not ashamed to call us brothers.
Who is your brother?

Silence
Stop the noise.
Slow your thoughts.
Stop the hurry.
Reject the worry.
Unbusy yourself.
Sit in silence.
And rest in my presence.
Doing is not always the objective.
Sit in silence.
Receive my guidance.
Hear my voice.
Resist the urge to get up and go.
Spend time with me and I will help you grow.
Sit in silence and know.
