1 Peter 3:8 Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. 9 Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. 10 For “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; 11 let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. ” [ESV]

Have you ever wondered about “unity of mind?” Today that’s foremost on my mind. There are issues of faith, culture and politics that can, and do, divide us. Unity is defined as likeness but is unity the same as likeness? Each of us exist in the flesh at the will of the same Creator but every person is a unique creation. That uniqueness is evident in our own bodies. Every cell within each person is unlike any other but they they still unite and manage to form one unique body. Each person is formed with their own body, DNA, mind and personality. Each of us is one-of-a-kind, unlike any other.
We have been purposefully created in God’s own image, by His own design, to be mismatched from one another in our own physical body and mind. God has created His unique body, the Church, from mismatched minds and bodies learning to depend on His likeness and be united by His mind as they struggle to find the balance between personal uniqueness and Spiritual “unity of mind.”
