Have you ever seen or maybe even played a game where you have to defeat an enemy to advance to the next level?
Last night in a dream the Lord used that scenario and showed me that we as His children, His body, and His Kingdom should not see other believers as the enemy that we have to destroy to advance in the work He has called us too. We need to recognize that all of His body is called into unity and His body and Kingdom has one enemy and that enemy is not one another!
That does sound like something that we should already know, right? And I would have thought I already knew this, however, sometimes I meet people that bring out the very fleshly, human side of me and I need to be reminded again!
Reminder to self, even though someone may rub us the wrong way they are not our enemy(repeat, they are not our enemy!), try to let yourself see that they are an opportunity for your own growth(even if you think they are the ones that need to grow!), this is a lesson in letting go of more of yourself.
To freely give space to someone that may be irritating to you is to free yourself of things that limit you from being who you are to be! Let go of pride and competition, do not seek your own way. Seek unity.
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; Philippians 2:3
