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?

Father forgive them for they don’t know what they are doing. Luke 23:34(NLT)
PLEA FOR THE LOST
A poem and essay by ILMA
Lord, I ask you to forgive those who do not know you
They have no idea; they believe lies instead of truth
They are in bondage to strongholds, sin and curses
Father, have mercy on them and grant them forgiveness.
I cry out for the lost, those who roam around in confusion
Help those who live in bitterness, anger and those in isolation
Give them your unfailing love because they need you so
Soften their hardened hearts so they can know you more.

It is easy to just tell someone who is so mean to “Get Lost.” Why bother with those who are hard to get along with? But the bible tells us to love our enemies and do good to them and pray for them in the book of Matthew he tells us to be kind and tender-hearted to one another, forgiving each other just as God through Christ has forgiven us (Ephesians 4:32). The bible also talks about how close Jesus is to the broken hearted and the crushed in spirit in Psalm 34:18. It is easy to get along with those who are loving and kind, but we are called to get along with everyone, even those who are difficult to love. He challenges us to live with the difficult and forgive them.
PRAYER
Lord, give me strength to separate people from their sins.
REFLECTION
Why is it important to forgive others and pray for them?
