Disunity

At the very center of the result of the fall of mankind is discord, distrust and disunity, all of which flow directly from the actions of Adam and Eve, heeding the serpents treacherous words, to become like gods.

Discord results when one seeks to be in the middle of the attention or perhaps even muscling out whomever is currently in the center of attention because there really is nobody more important than you.

Distrust always casts a sidelong glance wondering if the actions and motives of others are honest and heartfelt or if they are simply that other person’s means of getting ahead of me.

Disunity is always friends of discord and distrust. The only way to unity is to defy discord, seeking peace in the midst of chaos, even if it means that you go unnoticed in the process.

Unity gives a deaf ear to distrust, seeking rather to believe the best about others, even if it means making a costly mistake now and again. Because love suffers all things.

Do you cause disunity through discord or distrust? Stop now. Confess your sins. Repent and be forgiven.
