My New Year’s meditation this year is around Unity. In such divisive times, real unity becomes our heart’s labor and focus!

Been swimming in I Corinthians and looking at some how to’s in unity, as I think this coming year is one to work towards unity in many areas! Paul suggest two things for more unity: Love and spiritual gifts working in tandem! Love and offering our gifts to one another! Nice advice!

So, in the spirit of unity this year, actively thinking of ways to love you all better, and to share my gifts more actively. With such divisive times, St Paul asked us to Love more, and share our spiritual gifts with one another actively. I think I will this year! Unity is the theme word, i’m working towards in myself and all that is around me.

Paul’s methodology for unity was again: proactive Love, and spiritual gifts working in ordered tandem. Ok. I get that much from Corinthians. Time to Love and share friends. Looking forward to a unification year! Let’s be active reconcilers this year, using whatever gifts we have to bless, and receiving new gifts from others. That was Paul’s method for unity. I think Love still works! Let’s pursue it this year, and pursue one another actively with Love sharing freely what we’ve been given to encourage and edify one another! Let’s help one another shine this year friends! Shine on, and a blessed new year’s to you all!!!

I’m specifically working on unity between generations and cultures this year. But each of us have our fields to tend. Bless the fruitfulness of yours as we labor towards wholeness this new year, and usher in a few new songs of joy as we labor (Psalm 126, which is also about restoration and apropos for this year!)
