Unity

Ephesians 4:1-6


I am to live a life worthy of the calling [I] have received: completely humble and gentle; patient, bearing with one another in love; making every effort to keep the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit--just as [we] were called to one hope when [we] were called--one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of [us] all, who is over all and through all and in all.

My dear Father, please help me to live my life according to the honorable ethics and attitudes that are worthy of Your kingdom. Help me to be completely humble, thinking of others more than I think about myself, and remembering to be gentle with others and patient with their failings. Strengthen me to make every possible effort to keep the unity of heart and mind in Your Spirit.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
