There is a great amount of disunity in our world, but we need to rely on Jesus to be our unity, He alone is our Savior. To listen to Him, He calls us to go away and rest for awhile, which brings about unity and peace in our hearts and in our world.

Often we have an inadequate understanding of God, not bad, just not the full realization of who He is and His plan for us.
