Ephesians 4:1-6 (NRSV)
Life in the Trinity
I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort 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 of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all.

Reflection
Our calling is unique. Our calling is unique yet as part of the whole, our calling is one. One towards One God. One towards One faith, One baptism, and One God. Our unique calling combined with God's unique plan brings us together as One. And in that One we become One with the Father, we become One with the Spirit, and we become One with Jesus.
It's always amazing to me how God takes sinful, flawed creatures, like you and I and uses us in call. Uses us and recreates us from what we were intending to be in our own selfish desires, to what God would have us be in God's perfect creation. For..."There is one body and one Spirit..."
Thanks be to God!
Prayer
Lord, as I open the door today and we step together into your Kingdom, use me in that unique call you have designed for me this day. --- Amen
