Love Brings Unity
Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are. John 17:11
Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one, yet distinct. They are equal and indivisible, yet have different functionalities. We see the Trinity described in the Creation account and in the baptism of Jesus. They are in perfect unity.
God allows us to experience an aspect of this perfect unity in marriage. In marriage, two individuals are brought together in a spiritual union of "one flesh" (Genesis 2:24) that no man should ever seperate (Mark 10:9).
Do you encounter things in your marriage that try to (or perhaps even results in) divide you from your spouse? What if you began to approach your relationship with your mate with a deliberate purpose of defending the unity of your marriage?
Men, determine that the preservation of your oneness with your wife was worth every sacrifice and expression of love you could make.
Women, make it your mission to do everything possible to promote togetherness of heart with your husband.
What if every threat to your unity was treated as a poison, a cancer, an enemy to be eliminated by love, humility and selflessness? Loving, serving and honoring one another are the keys to preserve the unity of any marriage.
