It was in a 3rd grade classroom that a little boy had an accident and looked down and saw his pants were wet and a puddle in front of him and he was horror stricken.

She said I wet my pants once too. That's the way God wants you and me to respond to other people; to look out for the interest; put others interest ahead of your own. See, she got the ridicule because she knew what it was like to be there.
What one thing could you do that would bring Jesus happiness? What one thing could you do more than anything else that would complete the joy of Jesus Christ?

But Jesus said if you want to complete My joy; if you want to give me ultimate joy, then the one thing that I want you to do is be ONE with one another; to be one with one another; to have unity; to have harmony.
