The Father’s Embrace Heals Our Divisions
The solution to a divided church is not winning arguments, forcing agreement, or demanding uniformity. It is returning to the Father’s embrace.
When we stand close to the Father, our pride softens, our hostility dissolves, our perspective widens, our love deepens, our hearts become tender, our judgments become gentle, and our differences become gifts rather than threats.
The closer we draw to the Father, the closer we draw to one another.
Unity grows in the soil of the Father’s love.
