One - A life of fellowship - many fellows in one ship!
Jesus has called us all His children, which in turn places us in a family setting wherein our fellow brothers and sisters are simultaneously running their life’s race alongside us. We are all aiming for the singular goal of living life with and for Jesus, and together we can spur, encourage, and help each other on. However, unity in the church can be affected by individuals creating silos or by forcing one another to look and act a certain way.
As a rule, to foster unity and love amongst the church, we must choose to be tough on ourselves yet handle others with grace. Paul clearly mentions in Philippians 2:12 that we personally work out our own salvation and allow others to work out theirs. There must be a balance in guidance and grace.
As a collective body of Christ, we can achieve more together than all alone. Working with one another for the kingdom allows us to gain timeless experience and practice Christ-like behavior in every situation. When we work as one, we echo the very nature of God and bring him glory for the world to see love in unity.
Prayer -
• Help us see one another; friends, co-workers, family with the eyes of grace
• Let there be unity amongst your children that we bring you glory
• Let my individual actions always encourage community and be for the good of all
Thanksgiving -
• Thank you that you love me so well and love all of us equally
• Thank you for being such an inclusive God, giving us all the chance to love and know you
