So God has put the body together such that extra honor and care are given to those parts that have less dignity. This makes for harmony among the members so that all the members care for each other. – 1 Corinthians 12:24-25(NLT)
HARMONY BRINGS UNITY
A poem and essay by ILMA
God gave you each a different gift to bring him splendor
Are you cooperating with the body of Christ to bring God honor?
The strong parts of the body will support the weaker parts
They will never function separately from one another or be apart.
When you see a part of the body going weak
Help them focus on God so they won’t be bleak
We are all summoned to work harmoniously
This is the only way to bring peace and unity.
Helping others is something that I automatically do. There are times I get in trouble for doing so or I get misunderstood. In my former country, the Philippines, helping and hospitality is inherent in most Filipinos. I’d like to give God’s Spirit credit for motivating me to help someone and giving me the sensitivity to know when someone is in need.
The bible tells us that harmony brings unity. Christ wants us all to help build his body. When we see someone weak, we are asked to aide that member so we can be one in Christ.
PRAYER
Lord, show me who to help.
REFLECTION
How is Christ’s body strengthened?
