Division is not God’s plan for humanity. In fact, He is constantly working to unify us in His love, His Spirit. But where God gathers, the enemy disperses.

In Scripture, the enemy is often called diabolos throughout the New Testament, a Greek word derived from two words: dia, meaning apart, and balien, meaning to throw. To refer to the devil is to quite literally acknowledge him as the one who throws us apart, the one who scatters, the one who divides.

Teach your girl to recognize and analyze moments where she feels an overwhelming sense of division. Equip her with the knowledge that this is a scheme of the enemy, and she, through the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling within her, has the ability to overcome it.
