Palmer Lake, Colorado
I don't usually think of beavers as playful animals: river otters yes, beavers no. These two beavers must have been taking a break from their labors. For a few moments they swam a symphony for me. As they came together they started to swim around each other before heading back to the shore.
Christians are given the opportunity to come together to create a symphony, or rather, to live the symphony that God has written.
"And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us." 1 John 3:23 New International Version
There are two parts to this symphony.
The first is to believe in the name of God's Son, Jesus Christ. This is a communal activity according to John. The community comes together and, by the power of the Holy Spirit, lives in a relationship with Jesus. Faith is lived in symphony with other Christians.
The second part of this symphony is to come together to love each other. Christians are as broken as everyone else and to love each other is one of our most difficult tasks. However, we ought to remember that, in love, Jesus died for all of us "rodents." His love makes it possible for us to love each other.
We play an amazing symphony when we come together in faith and love.
