Gospel Reflections #471: Unity in God's Love

Psalm 133:1 “Behold, my brothers are sitting together. What grace, what joy!"

Brothers sitting together is a picture of the unity of God's love.

This is not something we can do in our own strength or with good intentions.

Ellen White is told that the cause of discord and division within families and churches is "separation from Christ.”

We may think we are connected to God, but in fact we are not.

When God speaks to us, "Where are you?" we need to reflect on ourselves.

And every time we are reminded of God, we need to turn toward Him and connect.

If we are not connected to God, we cannot do anything and have no joy.

But if we are connected to God, He will remold us, humble us, and lead us to forgive our brothers, recognize our differences, make up for our shortcomings, and share our joy.

The joy that God gives us is not temporary, but ever-increasing.

The joy that God gives us is not temporary, but grows and becomes greater as we share it.

When you experience it, please share it with your brothers and sisters.

You will surely experience a miracle of joy!
