1 Corinthians 1:10

1 Corinthians 1:10- Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Why is this scripture so hard to follow? Why can't we be united, or have no divisions? Why can't we be perfectly joined together in the same mind and judgement? We can, but so many of us choose to dwell on hate, or fear. We fear that someone might think of us as weak. We fear that because someone has been mean to us that others will be mean to us too. 

I feel like this scripture can also be applied in our families. If we are not united as a family or acting with the same mind/judgement we will not be able to be as one. I am so grateful for my family and for the scriptures that I have. We have been richly blessed from having the scriptures and reading them regularly.
