I Will Be a Unifying Christian

I will be a unifying Christian.

There are times when I must take a stand for God and His Word,

But I can do so in such a way that is charitable and non-combative.

My tone can be helpful,

And my demeanor can be Christ-like.

I will be a unifying Christian.

I will seek to build up before I tear down,

To encourage before criticizing.

I will learn that my words can be a source of great harm,

Or they can be a source of encouragement and joy.

I will be a unifying Christian.

That means that my needs and preferences will be last.

And I will seek to serve others with joy.

In all that I do, I will strive to be selfless in my church and in my life.

My priority will be to build up the body of Christ.

I will be a unifying Christian.

I will pray each day that I show Christ’s love more fully,

To be compassionate and caring for those in need.

In Christ’s strength, I will be a voice of hope

To so many who believe this world is cruel and hopeless.

I will be a unifying Christian.

I know many are watching me.

They know I am believer in Christ, a Christian.

My words and actions are my witness.

The world will know we are Christians by our love.

I will be a unifying Christian.

Such is my hope. My goal. My prayer.

I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you must also love one another. By this all people will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:34-35 (HCSB)
