On September 8, 2013, at church, we talked about Unity. One woman used the example of a cup that is broken, that it always would have something in between, either the crack or what you used to mend it.
I thought of that. I liked the use of a broken cup. With a broken cup, you can lose pieces if it has been broken too much, epecially if the pieces have been ground and beaten into a fine powder, and if you try to piece it together, but do so unevenly, you can't use that cup anymore. If it doesn't fit back the way it should, if all the pieces don't come back together, then the cup is useless; but if you have all the pieces, if you fit it back together right, then you can use that cup again.
Unity in marriage is crucial to the survial of a family. Unity of the members of church is crucial for the building of God's kingdom. Heavenly Father will still be there even if we are not, I know I want to be there with him again.
If you break unity, it can be put back together, as long as you don't break it so harshly and lose pieces and as long as you put all those pieces back in their proper place.
"Fear not I am with thee, oh be not dismayed, for I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand."
With Heavenly Father, anything can happen. He can turn that fine powder back into a cup if you let Him.
