God’s plan for unity is beautiful, but there’s a problem: It’s still HIS plan, not mine. We want to participate in a beautiful, diverse, community, but we usually want it on our terms. How can we change? We need God the Holy Spirit to fill us, so we love His plan for unity more than our own. When we do, singing, thanksgiving, and submission result.
