ONE

“We are all parts of his one body, and each of us has different work to do. And since we are all one body in Christ, we belong to each other, and each of us needs all the others.” Romans 12:5

It's this huge urge I have to tell you how much I love you. I can't explain to you how much you mean to me. Each of you have stolen a piece of my heart. Whether I know you or not you have a part of me with you.

This amazing body that I am a part of is the greatest. I love seeing the new additions being added. They bring so much joy to the Body. 

With each new addition, Christ places them in their respected place and the flow of His blood begins. 

I LOVE IT! I remember when I joined the Body, I was so excited, although it took me a little bit to understand my role, I have been addicted and devoted to it ever since. 

NOW!

Here is my prayer. I pray that the Body of Christ will begin to be more united as ONE. There is only ONE God and only ONE Body. 

I pray we will stop trying to be independent on our own. Christ has called us to work together for Him and for His good. We need to do more of that.

It often seems as though there are many body parts flopping around trying to function on their own.

We have taken God's Word, turned around to be what we believe, thus creating division between the Body.

How can we ever stand if we can't even unite together and work as ONE?

Yes the Body is made up of many different parts, but if those parts are acting independently of the Body, then the Body cannot function as Christ intends for it to.

Each part is of great importance and must work together. 

I have three questions for you to think about.

1. Are you a part of the Body?

2. Are you doing your part?

3. Are you working together or independently?

Jesus our opinions and interpretations have caused division within the Body. Forgive us for trying to work independently of one another instead of together like You called us to do. Amen
