"For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another."
Romans 12: 4-5
God is watching us everyday in our lives. It is difficult to think about sometimes but we are only a small part that makes up the whole body, which is apart of God. It is easy to get involved with only our family and loved ones but God calls us to a greater responsibility. He calls us to reach out to the stranger or to the neighbor or to someone you see for maybe only a few seconds in your lifetime. We must know that we will make up God's kingdom and we have to show God we can work together, not just for ourselves. This is a hard one for me because I need a constant reminder of what others may be going through and what a simple smile or holding of a door can do for someone. We all have special gifts that God has instilled in us and if we use them to help the body and bring the body together and closer to God, He will be pleased. One day we will all be as one.
