This is what I aspire for my family - my heart's desire and this is what I pray for:
"May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." - Romans 15: 5
It has been 14 years, still we have not reached there yet. And God's Word in the following verses (Romans 15: 7-9, 12-13) address that, and comforting me and teaching me how to respond:
"Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God (meaning in order to glorify God). For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God's truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs so that the Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy..."
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
