God has put the body together such that extra honor and care are given to those parts that have less dignity. 1 Corinthians 12:24 (NLT)
FRAGILE PARTS
A poem and essay by ILMA
How far have you gone with your walk with Jesus?
Are you ready to follow him and remain righteous?
Do you still have fragile parts of you that need attention?
Can you take part in his body by sharing all his provisions?
God has brought Christ’s body to work in harmony
He wants you to give extra care to those who have less dignity
He wants all fragile parts to be handled with respect and honor
They are all part of his body and he loves them all with fervor.

Do you remember how your mother taking so much care of a china that she might have inherited or because it was a wedding gift? Do you own something that is so fragile that you take much precaution in handling it? I remember when I first finished my first 200 paintings that I treated them like my children. It took courage to sell my very first painting because I wasn’t sure if they will be cared for by those who will buy them.
God wants us to take extra care of those members of the body of Christ who are discouraged and broken. He wants us to encourage them so they will grow in love.
PRAYER
Lord, teach me how to show compassion to the broken-hearted.
REFLECTION
Why do you think God asks us to care more for those who are hurting?
