  Speaker 1: Farty, Good morning, Good morning. It is time for us
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: to go to God in prayer, and as always I
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: encourage you to join along with me and today as
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: we are celebrating our fourth of July holiday. You know,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: oftentimes when we gather together with family and friends, it
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: is a time of celebration, yes, but sometimes it brings
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to light a time of confusion and division in families.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: That person that's not invited to the celebration, that person
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: that you're holding bitterness or unforgiveness toward the reason you're
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: not showing up at the celebration. So today I want
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: to pray for peace in our families. Father God, in
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the name of Jesus Christ, we come before you're right now,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: giving you glory, giving you honor, and giving you all praise.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Praying Lord God for our families, and praying for the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: peace in our families. You said, not only do you
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: give us peace, you are our peace. Our peace. It
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: goes beyond our human understanding, and peace begins sometimes God
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: with us us making a decision to forgive and let
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: go of the bitterness, let go of the hurt, let
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: go of the injustice and the unfair thing that was
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: done to us. Do we justify it, Absolutely not. But
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: do we choose to release it and walk in love? Yes,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: we do. So many people are divided because of a
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: funeral or death of a loved one, and they're fighting
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: over plates. Mama wanted me to have, Daddy wanted me
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to have. And oftentimes, if you just check your emotions,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: do you really want the plate? You just want to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: hold onto something that belongs to mama? Choose something else. Honestly,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: is it worth being separated from the person that you love,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: without your sister, without your brother, is it worth? Is
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: it worth not having that person in your life? The
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: funeral is too late, y'all. The water could have shot us.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: It's too late. Oh Father, God, let your love be
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: shed abroad in our heart, arnts by the Holy Spirit.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Let us walk in love God and forgiveness. Let us
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: choose peace over selfishness and self ambition. Let us choose
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: God to do things your way. No, God, we're not
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: talking about welcoming somebody who is abusive or hurtful. That's
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: not what we're talking about. God, I'm talking about choosing
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to walk in love. I'm praying for peace in our
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: families as we gather together, and celebration on Today in
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Jesus' name. Amen
