Day 170: Being United

John 12 verse 24, Verily, verily I say unto you, except a corn or wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. If you want to be united with somebody, whether it’s in the body of Christ or in marriage, that hard outer husk has got to be dealt with. You can keep that little corn or wheat, hard, shiny, self-sufficient, and it will stay that way forever. You want it to change. You’ve got to drop it. Let it go down below the surface of the ground. And under the ground in the darkness and the dampness, that hard outer husk dissolves. And when it’s dissolved, then a new life can come out of it.
