One Tribe Ya'll

So I've got this song stuck in my head. To be honest, I've never heard it on the radio and didn't even know I had this song on my iPod until it came up randomly. It's "One Tribe" by Black Eyed Peas. I've had it on replay for about two weeks and I still can't get it out of my head. Look up the lyrics or listen to the song, it's pretty catchy. I posted it at the bottom of this post :D. The reason why I really like the song is because it talks about unity and how we are that ONE TRIBE. Very much how we are the unified body of Christ. While it's nice to wish for the unity in the song, it's such a hard thing to actually try for.

Lately I've been pretty bitter towards certain people. People who may have done nothing to me, and some who may have wronged me in the past that I just can't get past. I know I wrote about spreading the love and continuing to bless others but another thing that I fight with is trying to lead by example but still having these kind of grudges. Pastor Young says that it's hard to truly worship and experience God when you have these discrepancies and I never really understood what he meant by than until recently. It's sooooo hard to try to pass on a blessing, when you can't even take your own advice. It adds a twist of hypocrisy to it, and weakens it's validity. I feel like I need so much more grace in my life in order to push beyond these things and move forward. When I think about the grace God has given me and show by example how God's grace has blessed me and how I should apply grace, in my own little way I feel like I'm moving toward the thought of that one tribe.
