Psalms 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell in unity!
When we are really poor, we need mercy. But when we are in oneness, we have something more than mercy. This is the dew, the sufficient grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all” (2 Corinthians 13:14). The fellowship of the Holy Spirit is the moving of the oil, and the grace of the Lord Jesus is the dew.
The more we meet together, fellowship with each other, and love one another, there is spontaneously within us a sweet flow of the Spirit, so gracious, so good, and so pleasant. At the same time we sense the strengthening within, the watering, the refreshing, the comforting and empowering. This is the grace. We have the fellowship of the Holy Spirit in the oneness, and we also have the grace of the Lord Jesus. As the Body we need the oil, and as the dwelling place we need the grace. Without the grace we are very dry. But with the grace we are watered and refreshed. (Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1968, vol. 1, “The Practical Expression of the Church,” p. 422)
