March 21 – UNITY


Be kind and show compassion for people who struggle and doubt and hesitate to commit. Have mercy on them with discernment. (Jude 22)
                How do you deal with the people you lead who are stragglers? Are you tempted to push them to the side, or even drive them out? Those who don’t buy in; who aren’t true believers, will be a source of endless problems. They must be dealt with. But, how do you deal with them the right way?
                This instruction clearly gives you the correct attitude to have, but you may struggle with how to have mercy; how to show compassion to these people who are struggling. Paul also gave some insight in his letter to the Galatians (6:1-2), “Carry each other’s problems, and you’ll be doing what Jesus said to do.” Jesus wanted this mercy for each other, so that His people would find unity. “Let them (the ones who believe in me) be completely unified, so the world will know that the Father sent me and loves them (John 17:23).” Jesus talked in family terms. You become brothers and sisters in God’s family when you follow Him. The unity Jesus spoke about is so complete that you and He are like one person, and through that love you can also be united with other believers. Unity is a high priority of Jesus, and it must be a very high priority for you, if you would lead as God wants you to lead.
Look for your people who struggle today and show them the compassion and mercy that brings this unity.
