So was the prayer of Jesus concerning His disciples.  He desired that His followers would experience the closeness and singleness of purpose He had with His Heavenly Father.  The Psalmist said, “How good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.”

Instead of trying to be different, try to achieve unity with those you are near in the Kingdom of God.  You will thereby fulfill Christ’s desire.

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, work Your work in my heart so I can see how I can achieve unity with my brothers and sisters in Christ.

DAILY READING:  John 17-19
