It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2.20 NRSV)

Wouldn't it be tragic in the light of God's love for us on the cross, if you and I in the body of Christ could not get along with one another?
How trivial our petty antagonisms and animosities are in the shadow of Calvary.
"Love one another." What a simple commandment, yet it carries such power. Power to heal minds, souls and bodies. Power to lift us to new planes of accomplishment.
I cherish that kind of love for all of God's people, and I believe it can be ours. For the God of love is in our midst. He will empower us. And people will once again say, "Look...how those Christians love one another."

Loving God, show me the way to truly love as you have loved me. Amen.
