Read Philippians 2:1-2

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.

Reflect

Paul emphasizes the importance of unity, asking the Philippians to find a strong common ground of faith and purpose that's found by following Jesus. This oneness is powerful enough to produce a deep, rich love that crosses boundaries, differences, preferences, and personal opinions.

Respond

It seems so simple: kindness and compassion, sharing life with people, loving them, cooperating. How can you put Paul's challenge into practice today?
