1 Thessalonians 4:8 

8 Consequently, the one who rejects this is not rejecting human authority but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

One

To be one I need to be... do I step out of self?

How can I give up myself ... if I’m woven to it within?

My mind cannot let go ... and let self just depart

It cannot give up self at all ... as to itself it clings

If I stay in, I know ... that I am beside myself.

If I don’t share myself there is nothing but emptiness.

For to be filled comes from outside ... from the ones I share with

and that will fill the “all” in me ... to grow in fruitfulness.
