But have you ever wondered why the Ninja Turtles always defeated the Foot? Or why the Shredder never seemed to have the upper hand?
First off, it was a movie, and the good guys almost always win. The part that I wish to point out is that the Ninja Turtles were UNIFIED in the fight against evil.
So many times I see people arguing and fighting over something when the real problem isn't "who is right and who is wrong", the problem is "Who needs help?" It doesn't matter if you think you have a better solution to the problem, if the other guy has an option hear him out and see if it works.
(Pay attention to what Shredder says between 3:40 and 3:50)
The Godhead is unified even though they are separate and distinct individuals. This is because each member of the Godhead is working towards the same goal.
We all have differnt Skills, Talents, and Abilities. Just like each of the Turtles uses a different type of weapon to fight against evil, a staff, swords, and nunchucks, so too might we use our "several Ability" (Matthew 25:15) to help others "come unto Christ and be Perfected in Him". (Moroni 10:32)
So next time you feel like arguing about how something should be done, try listening to what the other person has to say before concluding that they are wrong. Always remember that we are to be Unified, which does not mean that we have to do the same thing as everyone else, but that we work for the beneift of the whole and not just ourselves. We must always have the same purpose in mind.
The Lord has said, "If ye are not one, Ye are not mine."
Smile, your Heavenly Father is watching out for you.
