Divisiveness is like a plague and in order for us to maintain unity within our relationships and within the church, we first of all need to understand who we are in relation to Jesus Christ. And when we have a good grasp of that, it helps us view each other through the lens of thanksgiving.
The devil is always looking for ways to divide us, whereas God's desire is to unite us. One way to keep the unity is to intentionally thank God for each other through prayer asking that the Holy Spirit fill us with his good gifts.
We all want to know that we have a purpose in this life and that's exactly what the season of Advent gives us.
