Is relaxation and comfort what you want? Or is it Jesus Christ? Wish what you want but what reality is - will always be - Christ Jesus.
Both nations and individuals have tried Christianity and abandoned it, because it has been found too difficult; but no man has ever gone through the crisis of deliberately making Jesus Lord and found Him to be a failure.
So, it comes back to the question: What do you want? And who do you say Jesus Christ is? But keep in mind - reality will always be Christ Jesus!
(Matthew 12:35-37): 35 The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil. 36 But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

That's easy: charity or agape type love, if you will.
"What is the greatest quality humans possess?" - The ability to delight God in following Him based on our own volitional will God has granted us to die, therefore, to the right to ourselves is my answer. "…come, follow Me. (Luke 18:22).
Where our individual desire dies and sanctified surrender lives. One of the greatest hindrances in coming to Jesus is the excuse of our own individual temperament. We make our temperament and our natural desires barriers to coming to Jesus. Yet the first thing we realize when we do come to Jesus is that He pays no attention whatsoever to our natural desires. We have the idea that we can dedicate our gifts to God. However, you cannot dedicate what is not yours. There is actually only one thing you can dedicate to God, and that is your right to yourself (see Romans 12:1).
If you will give God your right to yourself, He will make a holy experiment out of you - and His experiments always succeed. The one true mark of a saint of God is the inner creativity that flows from being totally surrendered to Jesus Christ. In the life of a saint there is this amazing Well, which is a continual Source of original life. The Spirit of God is a Well of water springing up perpetually fresh. We as Christians realize that it is God who engineers his circumstances; consequently there are no complaints, only unrestrained surrender to Jesus. Never try to make your experience a principle for others, but allow God to be as creative and original with others as He is with you.
If you abandon everything to Jesus, and come when He says, “Come,” then He will continue to say, “Come,” through you. You will go out into the world reproducing the echo of Christ’s “Come.” That is the result in every soul who has abandoned all and come to Jesus.
Have we come to Him? Will we come now? Today once more will we come follow Him?

Ok, Today's question is as written. I say this because within us we want to ask more specific questions about the question. But allow yourself to think about it as written. Then as you pray about it - let me know what you think - this can be fun and insightful I hope and pray.
Question:
"Are we all one?"
