LIVE IN HARMONY
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you go out of your way to know others?
Do you encourage and appreciate your sisters and brothers?
Let us not become conceited or provoke one another
We are commanded to love all especially believers.
Humility is acknowledging your strengths and weaknesses
It is being supportive when others are being blessed
Don’t be envious but live in harmony with everyone
The Lord wants us all united just like him and his Son.

Harmony in art and design is the visually satisfying effect of combining similar, related elements. For instance: adjacent colors on the color wheel, similar shapes. In music, it is defined as the sounding of two or more musical notes at the same time in a way that is pleasant or desired. It is essential for us to live in harmony with others in order for us to have peace, joy and love. Without love, nothing will matter (1 Corinthians 13:1-3). We may have everything but if we don’t have love, we do not know God. If we don’t know God, it is impossible to live a life of joy, peace and harmony.
The bible tells us that we must not be conceited, provoke one another or jealous of each other. Selfishness is the root cause of all conflicts.
