Unity in Our Diversity
We are each gifted and each unique
Still in our variations seek
The whole, do good, know relevance
Serving God by the sacrament
Lest anyone try to subjugate
We hold fast this love and dedicate
Ourselves to Unity
A family or a team sticks together through thick and thin. When times are tough and when we are put down or being criticized by others, we have to bring each other up to keep going on. This is what defines unity. The infamous quote come to mind when the topic of unity is being discussed: “Stick and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.” Chastising another individual out of jealousy or frustration channels nothing but emotional hurt and pain from that individual. So, why do we do it? We usually take this out of context to bring ourselves up instead. By putting someone else down, there is the notion that our confidence and self-esteem will grow out of selfish gain. Therefore, we should not adhere to such an approach. 1 Corinthians 12:12 states:
Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body – whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free – and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
We hail from various backgrounds and cultures all around the world. While our practices and skin color are different, our faith and unity in God the Father shouldn’t be. AUHS Founder Pastor Gregory Johnson stated that despite our differences and imperfections, we should continue to unite together and lift each other up to perform our daily duties in honor of the Heavenly Father.
May God Bless You All ~
