Evening: Psalms 42, 43; John 17:20-26
Jesus says he is ‘one’ with God and prays we will be ‘one’ with each other. What is it, to be ‘one’? Is it agreeing, or thinking the same way, or being of one mind? Jesus points to a deeper unity - of the heart. When you are of one heart, you don’t need to agree; it’s often richer when you don’t. Then, to be ‘one’ is to be bound by Love. To be one in uniformity - thinking or acting the same - requires nothing of you. Unity in diversity requires Love.
