Philippians 2:2
Make - My choice, I must do it.
My - God's pleasure, not mine.
Joy - God's smile, His deep happiness and approval.
Complete - Full, whole, finished.
Being like-minded - Understanding and agreeing
Having the same love - Real, true love, not just affection or lust or owning.
Being one in spirit - Agreeing in mind, emotion and desires.
And purpose - The reason why, the goal, the finish line.
O my Father, please help me to want to and do what You want for me. Help me to see others, especially my own family members, as You see them; teach me to discern their thoughts and thought processes so that I will be able to agree in my thoughts with them. Help me to love them with Your true, pure, deep and genuine love, in spite of and because of their faults and failings. Teach me to understand their fears, shame and pride in the light of Your Truth for them, so that I will be able to agree with them in accomplishing Your purposes for each of us and for all of us; to promote Your kingdom here--that Your will would be done here on this Earth just as it is done now in Heaven. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
