Unity and Harmony

Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.

I PETER 3:8

A well-coordinated color scheme creates a sense of unity and harmony. Not to be confused with looking matchy-matchy, instead a complementary color scheme unifies an entire home. This unity strengthens the composition of the overall design.

Our family members are not cloned images of one another. We recognize this to be true as we join in marriage and merge two very different lives together into one. Moms witness this because even children from the same family plot their own path. While it would be simpler to think and talk the same, the Holy Spirit allows our thoughts and actions to complement each other while still maintaining our individuality. When we love as Jesus loves, we allow grace to fill the spaces when we disagree. Spirit-filled individuals can turn the world upside down with a unified purpose of bringing glory to God.

design tip

When choosing a color scheme of complementary colors, create a palette that will unify the whole collection of space in your home. Pick three or four colors to use in various shades throughout the house.

Father, help me learn to take on myself only the tasks you want me to do, so I find balance and please you in all I do and say.
