We Are Held—Together
The church is held, not by its perfection, but by its Father. We are not united because we agree. We are united because we belong.
We are not one because we have earned it. We are one because the Spirit has made us one. We are not a family because we act like one. We are a family because we share the same Father.
And that Father— faithful, patient, unchanging— holds the entire Body of Christ in His loving arms. Even in our disagreements. Even in our divisions. Even in our confusion. Even in our struggles.
We are held together in the heart of the Father.
