Psalm 133:1 says, “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.” Mark 3:25 says, “And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” We know this to be true regarding church splits, divorce, and friendships.

1 Peter 3:8 gives us the way to maintain unity. It says, “…having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous.” These are all character qualities that are refined as we go through deep trials. 

1 Corinthians 10:13 says, “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man, but God is faithful…” 2 Corinthians 1:4 says, “Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.”

The Lord knows our hearts. Division starts with one negative thought. If we dialogue with it, the temptation to continue is a strong pull from the enemy. Beware. Embrace the hearts of those around you, with His love imparted to you at salvation.
