Behold, how good and how pleasant it
is for brothers to dwell together in unity!
Psalm 133:1
Do you realize how closely unity and humility are tied
together? One breeds the other; neither can exist without the other. They're
like Siamese twins, perpetually connected.
Personally, I have seen numerous occasions when pride won
out (even though it was never called that) and harmony faded away . . . and I
mean fast. . . .
Contrary to the stuff you might read today, the words, fight
and quarrel, are not apt descriptions of the way to get ahead. They won't
ultimately glorify God.
Friends are made by not fighting and by refusing to quarrel.
Commit yourself to freeing others so they can grow and
discover on their own. For a change, as much as is possible, walk away from an
argument rather than inviting one. Become more of a peacemaker.
