11-11-11

John 17:21

New International Version (NIV)
21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
Thought:
What a great date today is!! Check it out...11-11-11, so it is only fitting to me to go to the Gospel of John for today.  As we are called to be one with each other, we are called to be one with God as well.  In order to become one with each other we have to know each other, and love each other together as a unit.  The same concept applies with God too.  We need to love God as if He is the only ONE, and no one else.  Jesus is even referring to himself as one with God like he calls His disciples to be.  A great lesson to be learned in this date and this text.  Loving those we know, and don't know.  Loving those that we may not agree with or even get along with.  For one second, do not think that the disciples got along ALL of the time.  This is what Jesus is referencing in this text, that they need to, in order to bring glory to their works in Christ.  Let us live as one, like we are called to do!
Prayer:
One God, One love, we've got to carry each other.  Brothers, and sisters we get to carry each other.  One Love.  Amen!*
