Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.  Romans 12:4-5 

 

Think of how crazy it would be to wake up one morning and find that your legs and feet started doing the work of your arms and hands. Obviously, brushing your teeth with your feet would be a challenge! Our bodies were made with different body parts and each one has its own purpose and function.

The same is true in the body of Christ God has gifted each of us with different talents and abilities. And those gifts are to be used within the body of Christ, which is the local church.

God wants you to get the most out of life, and that happens when you make his house, the church, a priority. Wherever you live, find a local church to attend, and serve in whatever capacity you can, by using the gifts and talents that God has given you. Then, you can discover all that God has in store for you.

Remember, Christ was so passionate about his church, that he sacrificed his life for it. Make sure you are passionate about the church as well.

Lord, thank you for the body of Christ and the wonderful things that it does to spread the message of Jesus all over the world. Help me to realize my potential and find a church where I can make the most out of my gifts and talents. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
