“He makes the whole body fit together perfectly.”
3. Jesus gave gifts for us to give back to God in the service of the church.

Dear Lord Jesus,
You are our Prince of Peace and You prayed for unity in the body of Christ. You prayed that we may be united in love just as you are united with the Father in love.
Give us that same desire to love one another as You have loved us. Let the world know that we are Your disciples by our love for one another. Help us to be united in our thinking with a desire to build unity. Help us to value harmony over having our own way. Guide us in ways we can do good to one another. Build in us a deep love for one another with a growing faith and a growing knowledge of You. Help us to use our gifts to serve one another and build up the body of Christ. Let the world see us a unified family of believers that they may know how much God loves them.
In Jesus Name, Amen
