The Spirit of Unity
May the God who
gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves
as you follow Christ Jesus. Romans 15:5 (NIV)
Do you find that you
are surrounded by people all the time, yet you still feel disconnected? In your
family, does it seem like every one going in different directions, always busy,
always minding their own business? We really have to make a conscious effort to
walk and live in unity with the people in our lives and not allow distractions
to pull us apart.
The memory verse
says that Apostle Paul prayed for the Romans that God will give them endurance
and encouragement to walk in the spirit of unity. Walking in a spirit of unity
goes beyond just getting along with people; it is about going the extra mile to
support one another and lift each other up. If you want to get the most out of
life, you have got to draw a line and tell yourself, ‘I am going to slow down
and connect with the people I love. I am not going to take my relationships for
granted.’
Start today by
calling a friend or family member that you haven’t talked to in a while. Reach
out to them and let them know they are important. Make time to have dinner as a
family and support each other’s activities. When you walk and live in unity,
you bless the Lord and open the door for His supernatural blessing to flow into
your own life!
Prayer
Father in heaven, I
thank You for the relationships in my life. I thank You for giving me the
ability to unify. Please help me find creative ways to connect with the people
I love. Help me to walk and live in a spirit of unity as You commanded. Be
enthroned today in Jesus’ name. Amen
