Unity

Off and on, I hear talk about unifying all the nations of the world under one government. This talk makes me nervous when I hear it (maybe because I read the Left Behind books), because it reminds me that the world is coming closer to its end. However, as Christians we are supposed to be unified in Christ. I think we forget that sometimes, and when we do, the consequences are disastrous. I've seen some examples of this recently. People who are supposed to be working together and supporting one another instead blame and criticize each other when things go wrong, destroying relationships and tearing through their hearts and emotions. This is not how God meant for us to exist. However, God in His infinite wisdom and mercy is always ready to reach down and intercede when we are ready for Him. When we recognize our wrongs and try to right them, He heals us and guides us towards His real purpose for us: to make His glory known through our lives. God is amazing, and He WILL be glorified. We would avoid a lot of unnecessary pain if we would just work together in unity like He instructed us to do.
