To ‘live together in unity’
There’s a spiritual basis for unity that empowers each and every one of us to move forward with kindness, hope, and a growing grasp of a deeper and indestructible, divine harmony.
“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!”
– Psalms 133:1, New International Version
Jesus’ prayer for all his brethren:
Father, that they may be one,
Echoes down through all the ages,
Nor prayed he for these alone
But for all, that through all time
God’s will be done.
One the Mind and Life of all things,
For we live in God alone;
One the Love whose ever-presence
Blesses all and injures none.
Safe within this Love we find all
being one.
Day by day the understanding
Of our oneness shall increase,
Till among all men and nations
Warfare shall forever cease,
So God’s children all shall dwell
in joy and peace.
