One

A baby cannot have enough onesies -- those cute little all-one-piece outfits.  Except for the snaps, they remind me of the girls’ PE uniforms we had in high school.  One-piece, they were. Cutesy, they were not!

Imagine a world of people in harmony.  What a mental exercise, huh?  I understand living with someone so long I know his thoughts and his next sentence.  Yikes, that’s scary!  Paul McCartney wrote, “Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony; side by side on my piano keyboard; oh Lord, why don't we?”  The Apostle Paul wrote about genuine deep lasting harmony: “Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 2:2-5)  Did you pick out the cause of real harmony?  Absence of pride and presence of humility; a same love … love for others rather than self.  Consider it!  If everyone valued others over themselves, no one would be self-seeking.  What an amazingly simple yet profound truth.  Each having the same mind of humility, which is in Christ Jesus, results in …  One.
