unity

"Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!" Psalm 133:1

Today we completed the wall mural at the children's home by having the employees and children place their hand prints on the tree. The point of placing the hands on the tree was not only to represent  adorable leaves, but also unity and family. The Children's home is called 'Lar', meaning 'home'. and anyone who spends at least 5 minutes at the Lar can truly see they are a family and it is a home. Each member of the family plays a specific role at the Lar in order to keep it unified, thus making it a home. 

As Christians we are "one body in Christ" and we house the precious Savior, Jesus.

The Lord calls followers of Him to unify into one Body; we are to gather together for the purpose of making known the name of Jesus among the nations. We are called to lay aside our differences and vast forms of diversity in order to serve together  with love as brothers and sisters in Christ.No member of this family is more significant than another.

"For as in one body we have many members,and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them" Romans 12:4-6

"One heart, one unit, one team," 

 This was the motto used while Serving with an amazing team in Guatemala. We realized that without love and unity with in the team, we could not show it outward. 

If you see that you are lacking unity within the family(church),please work it out,talk it out, and pray to have the unity which Christ desires before moving any further. 
After all, How can could we ever encourage people to be apart of a divided, dysfunctional home?
