We are John 17 Christians from different denominations, continents, and cultures who advocate Jesus' desire for unity: 'Father, may they all be one.'

Father
the glory
that you gave me
I've given to them

I’m in them
you are in me

they will be perfectly one
as we are one

The day of my spiritual awakening was the day I saw and knew I saw all things in God and God in all things.

Prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward Heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.
–Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

John Murray writes: “Many of the things comprised are evil in themselves and it is the marvel of God’s wisdom and grace that they, when taken in concert with the whole, are made [by God] to work for the whole.”

Our complaints really are never caused by our outward circumstances. Instead they reveal the inward condition of our hearts.

We cannot enter heaven by some clever and elaborate human route because even the most well-funded human effort cannot take us there.

In the digital age of relentless self-promotion, my only true identity rests in this: I am radically loved by God.

[United in Christ @UnifiedinChrist]

"Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy."

~ Thomas Merton

Dependence on self is slavery. Dependence on God is freedom. So, whether your life right now reflects abundance or deprivation, lean on God one day at a time. And know that you are being tested.

The divine plan is to transform human nature into the divine, not by giving it some special role or exceptional powers, but by enabling it to live ordinary life with extraordinary love.

The great Christian revolutions came not by the discovery of something that was not known before. They happen when someone takes radically something that was always there.
