God's word tells us that the enemy is out to destroy us and our relationships. Why then do I give into my flesh way of thinking and believe the lies that the enemy is telling me? Why do I give into my emotions and go the opposite way of what the Lord is doing in me? No matter how I feel I need to do what God has called me to do. That is to love. To love my husband, family, friends, neighbor, enemies, everyone.
After some series of events that have happened the Lord is really showing me and convicting me of unity. We need to stand by our sisters and brothers in Christ and show them love, encourage them, speak life into them. If we don't then who will?
to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4:12-13
Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. Ephesians 4:15-16
Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. Ephesians 4:3
God's word talks about us (God's children) as Christ's body. You could also relate it to a train. As Jesus as the engine(head) and us(the church) as the cars, if they weren't connected some of them would be stuck, just sitting there. We all need to be connected, in unity.
We need each other. So, lets get along. Let's love one another. Let's keep peace. Let us be united in Christ as the body. We won't function properly if we aren't united.
