The vision of God’s glory, and the representation of unity in the Spirit is such a beautiful one. I love reading these passages in Ezekiel and Revelation that describe the depth of complex beauty that is unity in the Spirit. We move as one in the Father’s glory when we live according to His Spirit in us. No confusion, only glorious complex oneness.
He wants us to open to Him, so that His mark of love can be imprinted on our minds. And then we will have unity when we can see that our ways are not God’s ways, and allow Him to set us free and set us in motion in love – joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. When we can see each other through these lenses, and receive everything as a gift that will bear the fruit of love if we allow God to help us see through the outer layers, there will be unity in the Spirit.
Ask God to help us to see the gift of love in everything, and how to get to that gift.
When Jesus went into the temple with a whip, He harmed no one, but He did cause them brief discomfort. The end result was that the temple was cleared, and the space was open to be filled with the excluded who needed space to be included.
May we welcome and recognize these moments of brief discomfort, so that we can allow the Spirit to open up space for inclusion and unity. For all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
Father open our hearts for Your message that creates space for unity and inclusion – love.
