Love and Unity

Promise of the Day:
Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others...(I Cor. 12:27-28)

Prayer:
Lord, Your church is to be known by its "love". Not by any miracles, but by love. You have given us a 'spirit of love', one of Your attributes which You share with us. From Ephesians we also learn that Your church is to have "unity". This unity is the bond we share that is sealed by Your blood. One body, One Spirit, One Lord, and we are to preserve the Unity of the Spirit. Fill me with Your love, dear Lord. You have not given me a spirit of fear, but of love. May I show and spread Your love in this unlovely world. Amen
