Instructions for oneness

After I Peter 3:8-12

You want unity, 

oneness, so do this:

don’t speak evil,

don’t speak deceit,

don’t do evil,

turn to doing good,

seek peace,

pursue peace,

because this is what

the Lord seeks, what

the Lord wants, what

the Lord prizes and

values. 

Seek it, pursue it,

and hold it tightly

when you find it,

never letting go.

Oneness

After I Peter 3:8-12

We are one, we are

to be one, always,

in all circumstances,

one mind because

our thoughts are his;

one sympathy because

we all need it;

one brotherly love because

we die for each other;

one heart because

we share his heart;

and oneness in humility,

because he loves

each of us so much

that he gave his life,

that we would be saved.
