United We Stand

There is in everyone's life a moment that is so pronounced because of the shift in a relationship. That moment becomes the one that defines everything that you thought you knew about who you were. Your thoughts change, actions change, everything begins to change the moment your bond is broken.


Two people who were once united. Two people who were once able to finish each other's sentences. Two people who once swore that nothing could ever come between them. Two people who were once able to exist in perfect harmony become two people who cannot stand the sound of each other's voice.


It happens in an instant is what we say, but there is no instantaneous way to separate two people who have at one point been unified. The truth is unity is compromised in the accumulation of hurts. Unity is compromised by the sum total of the things that we try to forget without being willing to forgive. Unity is compromised when we turn away from what unified us in the first place.


In some relationships, unity exists as a result of a familial relationship. Unity also exists in relationships between friends and of course between those involved in romantic relationships. While unity exists within the framework of all of these relationships, unity or harmony is established by God.

What is rarely acknowledged is that the unity that we enjoy in relationships is not because we like the same movies, have the same parents, or desire the same outcomes. The unity that we enjoy exists because we are linked together spirit to spirit. So if you have become two people who are no longer unified, could it be that someone is operating outside of the spirit of God?


Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.

Romans 12:16
