Good morning, everyone, and welcome back to another morning's with the Masters, where we

devote ourselves to the Lord daily with you. Good morning, you guys. Good morning, indeed.

We're picking up with day three of our, you can change your atmosphere devotional in the

Bible app. There's a link to that in the description if you guys want to fall along with us.

And as always, I'm going to read the scripture then towards going to pick up with the

Devo. Let's do it. The scripture is 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 18, and it says this,

and all of this is a gift from God who brought us back to himself through Christ,

and God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. The devotional is titled,

whom will you lean on? And it says this, do you believe love can change any atmosphere?

I do. Someone once said, love looks like something. Could it be that we are designed to lift

each other up in times of trouble? When I was 8 years old, I loved to walk down the street with

a small radio in my hand, singing along to the beats of Motown and the Beatles, moving my body

like the rock stars of the past. There is this one song in particular that would get my friends

in me going every time. Lean on me by Bill Withers. Do you remember it?

Lean on me. You're using it, babe? I want to finish. I want to finish singing it, but I don't

want to hurt our audience these years. And I'll be your friend. I'll help you carry on.

Isn't that a great theme song for real love and true friendship? It bothers me that our

society seems to have shifted from this heart of love. The media appears to focus on our differences.

Black, white, Latino, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, French, English, etc. So much division,

even hate. Taylor Swift says it so well. Hater is going to hate hate hate. Because I'm a follower

of Christ, I believe I should be different. Paul called our ministry a ministry of reconciliation.

He said, we are to love above all things. I encourage you to adopt this real heart of love
