084: Working together for unity | Ephesians 1:10

God has invited us into His will to bring unity to heaven and earth through Jesus. #God #unity

I love messy church. The beauty of the Church is not when we are arguing about who is right or who Christians should vote for. No, the beauty of the Church is when different people from different backgrounds and different cultures come together under the name of Jesus. God’s will is that heaven and earth would be reunited. After Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, a gap was created between us and God. His will is for that gap to be removed, and that is exactly what Jesus did through His sacrifice on the cross. Now, we are invited into the story. As we grow closer to God and chase after His will in our lives (remember: It’s not one destination but the journey of growing closer to God), we get to participate in bringing unity to all things.

One Verse is a short, free daily devotional designed to help you grow closer to God through less than 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

Consistency trumps intensity. When it comes to working out, eating healthy, or managing our finances, consistency always trumps intensity. We reach our major life goals through small, purposeful steps taken daily. The same is true in our spiritual lives. I truly believe you will grow closer to God by spending just 5 minutes a day with Him versus cramming in an hour once a month. The One Verse Devotional is here to help take away the barriers of spending time with God. Now, during your workout, drive to work, or even shopping for groceries, you can invest in your spiritual life.
