Ch. 368 - Equality in Love

'Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.'
[Philippians 2:1-2, NASB]

God exhorts us.
He counsels us in love.

God comes close to us.
He brings us help and cheer.

The Spirit dwells within us.
It brings us eternal life.

God reaches out to us.
He gives us affection and compassion.

Let our joy be like Paul's: connected to the unity of believers.

Let us think the same way.
Let us love others in the body of Christ equally.
Let us be in harmony.

Please, Lord God, let us give of ourselves sacrificial love.
