Be united with other Christians. A wall with loose bricks is not good. The bricks must be cemented together." - Corrie Ten Boom
I have been seeing more and more ,who God put in my life and who He has removed. When I say this, I picture a garden (us) blooming and the gardener (God) removing all the weeds (people God doesn't want us around). I sometimes fail and find myself associating with the people that God doesn't want there anymore. Whether it be just for a season or for good, there is a reason He no longer wants them there. I know that is His way of trying to do something better and make room for the better in our lives. We have to learn to trust Him enough to let go. I know I can't help everyone, I wasn't called to do that. In our walk, we have to continually move forward.
Psalm 133:1 - How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!
We need unity in Christ. No matter where you are in your life, or who you have around you, if you have someone you can count on to encourage you and lift you up, whether it be a pastor, friend, or family member, don't let that go! Don't surround yourself with negative people that are going to bring you down in any way. God gives us the people we need in our lives, and if someone leaves our life for any reason, He will send another. I learned that a few months ago and that is such a blessing to me! After all the craziness this life brings, if we have someone we can turn to, who will help guide us in the right direction, that is what matters. We can love others, we are supposed to, no matter what they do or have done, and also to continually forgive, but that can be done from a distance. We should never stop growing, and the battles never stop coming. Stand strong! Enjoy the people God put in your life. Stay united! Don't look back, always keep going forward!
Ephesians 4:3 - Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
1 Corinthians 12:27 - Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
