Unity

I've been learning a lot about "unity" in the body of Christ lately. (I'll save for another blog the reasons that word irritates me.) Yesterday Staci dropped this little gem into the mix:
The point of breaking down the walls between the members of the body is not so that we can compromise to some middle-ground, but so that we can finally see the glory of the differences. If I don't talk to a fellow believer, how will I know how amazing there are? And since we are totally unique, their amazingness it going to be totally different from my amazingness. And all of it is needed. Maybe unity is simply acknowledging and giving play to the God-light in each of us.
