Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

Put on compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, forgiveness, and love. Fascinating that it is love, true agape love that is the glue that binds the Body of Christ together. I worship with a congregation that always sings, “Bind us together, Lord, bind us together” at the conclusion of every Communion Service. It is love that binds us.
