Colossians 3:14

"Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony."
What if we could bottle love? Not romantic love... but, ἀγάπη (agape) love... in a super glue-like mixture.

Use it to help bring people together that normally would never step foot in the same room.

Use it to bring a committee together to do productive work rather than just argue, disagree, and argue about what they disagree about. (Did that make sense?)

Use it to mend relationships broken by hurtful words and actions.

Or, better yet... Use it to bring Christians together in harmony... helping us realize that people are not the same. We all have different backgrounds, different experiences, different maturities, different personalities, different political thoughts, different trust levels, different expectations.

Yes, we can have harmony, even though we're all different... by allowing love to bind us together.

Father, help me live harmoniously with others... no matter our opinions, disagreements, skin color, personalities, backgrounds, agendas, economics, geography, nationalities. Bind us together with ἀγάπη (love).
