Commitment – “There is nothing like knowing someone has your back.”

Scripture:  Nehemiah 4:21-23

Not on my watch.  That is a phrase I have heard used before when it comes to unity.  Nothing is going to harm my brother or sister while I am keeping watch!  There is a contagiousness around unity that is electrifying and magnetic.  When I know the person on my left and right is looking out for me, I forget about myself and I am able to fully commit.  I am not holding back because I trust that the person next to me has my best interest in mind and I choose to believe the best about them.  I was on a cross country team once that achieved this.  We pushed each other, trained together and in the end, achieved more that we could have on our own.  We weren’t competing with each other but cooperating.  This is the picture of rebuilt lives in our community.

Watch Week 4 of Relaunch:  “Striving  For Unity” Here:

The more you love others, the more you leave your pride.  There is no place for pride when working on a high performance team.  The people are pulling together to rebuild the wall amidst the opposition, and they are learning how to be absolutely unified.  In order to strive for unity we must rely on the power of God, remain alert, and rally to the needs of others.
