I therefore, a prisoner for the
Lord, urge you to walk in a
manner worthy of the calling to
which you have been called,
with all humility and gentleness,
with patience, bearing with one
another in love, eager to
maintain the unity of the Spirit
in the bond of peace. There is
one body and one Spirit—just
as you were called to the one
hope that belongs to your call—
one Lord, one faith, one
baptism, one God and Father
of all, who is over all and
through all and in all

"God can never make us wine if we object to the fingers he
uses to crush us with. If God would only use his own fingers
and make us broken bread and poured out wine in a special
way. But when he uses someone whom we dislike, or some set
of circumstances to which we have said we would never
submit, we object. We must never challenge the scene of our
own martyrdom. If ever we are going to be made wine to
drink, we will have to be crushed. You cannot drink grapes.
Grapes become wine only when they have been squeezed."
Oswald Chambers
