故事:17年的风雨同舟,一起合一,一起得胜
“还记得当年那个小办公室吗?”
谨行站在窗前,望着这座高楼,轻轻叹了口气。17年前,那个不足十平米的小房间里,他和锐志满怀激情,彼此信任,怀揣梦想。他们加班到凌晨,困了就躺在沙发上休息,醒来继续拼搏。他们一起见证了第一份订单的喜悦,也一起熬过资金短缺的煎熬。
公司成长得比他们预期得还要快。他们的汗水、坚持、祷告,换来了今天这座行业内屹立不倒的大厦。
但如今,站在这扇落地窗前的谨行,却只感到心寒。
“我们已经回不去了。”
17年的合作,随着无数次争执,最终变成了无声的冷漠。
锐志勇于创新,渴望突破,而谨行强调稳健经营,宁愿放慢脚步。争执从小小的细节,演变成会议上的剑拔弩张,最终连对视都充满敌意。
他们的办公室相对而立,但这17年来建立的信任,仿佛被一条深沟隔开。
一道裂痕,一分为二,团队也因此分裂。
一场决定公司的会议,成了最后的交锋。
“我们根本不可能合作下去了。” 锐志的话斩钉截铁。
谨行沉默片刻,点头:“那就结束吧。”
他们都以为,这一切真的要走到尽头了。

一张纸,翻开遗忘的篇章
董事会请来了一位顾问约翰。
会议室里,空气凝固。约翰没有试图调解,而是递给他们一人一张纸,微笑着说:
“请写下,你最感激对方的地方。”
谨行愣住了,锐志也皱起眉。
感激?这个词,已经离他们太远了。
然而,指尖触碰到笔的那一刻,17年来的画面仿佛被打开。
谨行的手指微微颤抖,他想起——
锐志曾冒着巨大风险签下第一份订单,让公司挺过最艰难的时刻。
他曾无数次在深夜,带着疲惫的笑容说:“兄弟,我们一定能做到。”
他曾在团队最迷茫的时候,燃起所有人的信心……
他闭上眼,深吸一口气,写下:
“锐志的创新让公司充满活力,他一直勇敢向前,是我最敬佩的人。17年来,我们共同创造了奇迹。”
锐志看着那张白纸,心头一阵刺痛。
他想起——
谨行在公司濒临破产时,咬牙坚持,不放弃任何一名员工。
他总是在关键时刻做出最稳妥的决策,避免公司走向毁灭。
他曾在自己失望到想放弃的时候,拍着自己的肩膀,说:“兄弟,我们还没输。”
他喉头哽咽,最终写道:
“谨行总是在关键时刻做出稳健决策,帮助公司避免危机……17年来,他是我最信任的伙伴。”
当他们交换信件,读到彼此的文字时,眼眶不禁湿润。
沉默良久,谨行终于开口,声音微微哽咽:“对不起,我忘了,你一直是我的兄弟。”
锐志的眼里泛起泪光,他伸出手,谨行紧紧握住。
这一刻,隔阂消失了。
这一刻,裂痕愈合了。
这一刻,17年的风雨同行,重新找回了最初的初心。
⸻
合一的力量,带来更卓越的成果
当他们重新携手,整个团队也恢复了凝聚力。锐志的创新思维与谨行的稳健管理结合,公司不仅突破了瓶颈,还迈向了更高的阶段。他们共同调整了发展策略,既鼓励创新,又确保稳健成长,最终公司的市场份额翻倍,成为行业的领导者。
17年的风雨同舟,原本岌岌可危的公司因合一重新焕发活力,并在接下来的几年里迎来了前所未有的突破。

反思:约 17:21 的提醒——1721(一起合一,一起得胜)
在家庭、职场、教会,甚至朋友之间,我们都会因理念不同而产生隔阂。但耶稣在约翰福音 17:21 的祷告提醒我们,合一不仅是神的心意,更是向世界见证基督的关键。
“1721”—— 谐音“一起合一”,不仅是巧合,更是神的心意。
合一带来更有效的成果,因为它让不同的恩赐彼此互补,让团队更具创造力和执行力。合一并不意味着所有人必须完全一致,而是愿意放下骄傲,在爱中同行。
一起合一,一起得胜!
选择理解胜过争执,选择欣赏胜过挑剔,选择宽恕胜过分裂。
真正的合一,是即使彼此不同,仍愿意携手前行。
今天,你是否有一座桥需要搭建?
或许,一个真诚的道歉、一句感激的话、一点点的谦卑,就能让破裂的关系得到修复,让基督的爱在其中彰显。
你愿意迈出那一步吗?
Building Bridges of Unity: Constructing Unity to Bear Witness to Christ

Story: 17 Years of Shared Struggles and Victories in Unity
“Do you remember that small office from back then?”
Jinxing stood by the window, gazing at the high-rise building, and sighed softly. Seventeen years ago, in that tiny room of less than ten square meters, he and Ruizhi were full of passion, trust, and dreams. They worked late into the night, resting on the sofa when tired, then waking up to keep pushing forward. They shared the joy of their first order and endured the hardship of financial struggles together.
The company grew faster than they had expected. Their sweat, perseverance, and prayers built the towering presence they have in the industry today.
But now, standing before the floor-to-ceiling window, Jinxing felt only coldness in his heart.
“We can never go back.”
Seventeen years of collaboration had turned into silent indifference after countless disputes.
Ruizhi was bold in innovation and eager to break through, while Jinxing emphasized steady operation and preferred to slow down. Disagreements began with small details, escalating into tense meetings, where even their eye contact became full of hostility.
Their offices stood facing each other, but the trust built over 17 years now felt as if it was divided by a deep chasm.
A crack, splitting them in two, led to the division of the team.
A meeting that would decide the fate of the company became their final confrontation.
“We can’t possibly continue working together,” Ruizhi said decisively.
Jinxing remained silent for a moment, then nodded, “Then let it end.”
They both thought that this was truly the end.

A Piece of Paper, Opening Forgotten Pages
The board had invited a consultant, John, to the meeting.
The air in the room was tense. John didn’t attempt to mediate, but instead handed each of them a piece of paper, smiling as he said:
“Please write down what you are most grateful to the other person for.”
Jinxing froze, and Ruizhi furrowed his brows.
Grateful? That word felt distant now.
However, the moment their fingers touched the pen, images of the past 17 years seemed to unfold.
Jinxing’s hand trembled slightly, and he remembered—
Ruizhi had taken huge risks to secure the first order, helping the company through its toughest moments.
He had often smiled wearily in the late hours, saying, “Brother, we can make it.”
He had lifted everyone’s confidence during the team’s darkest moments…
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and wrote:
“Ruizhi’s innovation brings vitality to the company. He has always been brave and forward-looking, and he is the person I admire most. Over 17 years, we have created miracles together.”
Ruizhi looked at the blank paper, his heart stinging.
He remembered—
Jinxing had held firm when the company was on the brink of bankruptcy, refusing to give up on any employee.
He had always made the most cautious decisions at crucial moments, preventing the company from destruction.
He had patted his shoulder when he was about to give up, saying, “Brother, we haven’t lost.”
His throat tightened, and he finally wrote:
“Jinxing always makes wise decisions at critical times, helping the company avoid crises… Over 17 years, he has been my most trusted partner.”
When they exchanged their letters and read each other’s words, their eyes welled with tears.
After a long silence, Jinxing finally spoke, his voice choked: “I’m sorry, I forgot—you’ve always been my brother.”
Tears welled up in Ruizhi’s eyes, and he extended his hand. Jinxing grasped it tightly.
In that moment, the barrier vanished.
In that moment, the crack healed.
In that moment, the 17 years of shared struggles and victories found their original purpose once more.

The Power of Unity Brings Greater Achievements
When they joined hands again, the entire team regained its cohesion. Ruizhi’s innovative thinking combined with Jinxing’s steady management, and the company not only broke through its bottlenecks but also reached new heights. They jointly adjusted their development strategy, encouraging innovation while ensuring steady growth. Ultimately, the company’s market share doubled, becoming the industry leader.
After 17 years of shared struggles, the company, once on the verge of collapse, was revitalized through unity, achieving unprecedented breakthroughs in the following years.

Reflection: A Reminder from John 17:21 — 1721 (Unity Together, Victory Together)
In families, workplaces, churches, and even among friends, we often encounter divisions due to differences in ideas. But Jesus’ prayer in John 17:21 reminds us that unity is not only God’s will but also the key to witnessing Christ to the world.
“1721” — in Chinese sounds like “Unity Together,” is not just a coincidence but a divine message.
Unity brings more effective results because it allows different gifts to complement one another, making the team more creative and efficient. Unity doesn’t mean everyone must agree on everything, but that we are willing to lay aside pride and walk together in love.
Unity together, victory together!
Choose understanding over arguments, appreciation over criticism, and forgiveness over division.
True unity means, despite differences, still being willing to walk hand in hand.
Today, do you have a bridge to build?
Perhaps a sincere apology, a word of gratitude, or a little humility can restore a broken relationship and let Christ’s love shine through.
Are you willing to take that step?
