Once upon a time there was an elderly woman whom was on bed rest. One day she called her five children for a favor, thinking they would all come together without fighting. She asked them to tear a stack of cardboard papers.
The oldest one tried first, knowing because she was the oldest she assumed it would be an easy task; she tried and tried with no success then she gave up.
Now the next child tries once again "piece of cake "she said after five minutes she then gave up.
The third child stepped up and said "just because you’re older doesn’t mean you’re stronger" than she laughed. She too couldn’t rip the stack of cardboard paper.
The forth child used all of his might nothing happened.
The youngest child stepped up and said "you guys are idiots, use your brain". Then the youngest who thought he knew it all and was the smarts in the family separated each piece of cardboard and ripped them apart.
The siblings eyes all got big, then the mother says who knows what just happened? It’s an easy task to break the cardboard paper one by one, but together you all are strong enough not to be broken. The family then realized hatred and separation isn’t the answer. Stronger together forms unity.
Romans 14:19 "Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification"
