We are called to be one body, one people, but it's embarrassing at times to see that the people who are often the most divisive, the most judgmental, the most unforgiving act that way in God's name. If we're walking with God, we're walking in peace and love. We're walking side by side, not jockeying for position and status trying to push other people down or just plow right over them. Let's show one another love, and claim THAT in Jesus name.
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
Colossians 3:12-15 (NIV) from Bible Gateway
