Walls of Division
Date: November 10, 2017
Since returning home from the Holy Land, my heart has been in deep agony as I see a lack of unity amongst people. It’s as if a veil was removed from the eyes of my heart in Jerusalem, and I can see the walls of division everywhere. In the Old City of Jerusalem, Jews, Muslims, Christians & Armenians live side by side together in a small space, walking every day amongst each other. Yet, the four quarters remain that way—walls of division in people’s hearts. Since returning home, I see the walls of division in families, marriages, communities, and countries. I have entered a deep self-examination: How do I also live in this division, separation, amongst the souls the Lord has given me? How do my reactions from my wounds contribute to this state of division? How is unity genuinely possible in Christ? Considering the brokenness of humanity, it seems impossible, but the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of unity. He is the Divine Person that unites all to Christ and through Christ into the Trinity. If I live in the Spirit how can I become an instrument of unity?
