Endeavouring For Unity

Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Ephesians 4:3

Unity and peace--words to live by as children of God. Particularly among ourselves. And yet so often we forget all about them. How often we fight and bicker with one another over things that seem so important but are reall so very petty! How often we gossip and cut each other down and stab one another in the back! There is no room for self-righteousness and pride in a faith of unity and peace. They simply cannot co-exist. The bonds of unity and peace between ourselves and our Christian fellows will be tested and occassionally undone--we're human; it's inevitable. But the point is, are we endeavoring to maintain them? Are we even trying? Or are we contributing to their collapse?
