Parts of the Body
I've been struggling with not feeling needed sometimes and like I should just get out of God's way and stop messing up what He's doing... I suppose I can't really mess Him up, being God, and it's pretty stupid to think I could, but I'm just being honest here. But anyway, I heard the verse about being part of the body of Christ and that really impacted me... That the body needs me. God made me, and gave me a part in His plan no one else can fill. That I can't say I'm not part of the Body because I'm not a different part of it. The Body still needs me to function how God designed it to. That's pretty amazing to think about...

Yeah, I used to always think the same thing! Though, in a little bit in a different perspective.
ReplyDeleteI used to think and tell myself that I'm a loner.(still do sometimes) I don't mind being alone, like it doesn't bother me, if I haven't fellowship with friends in a long time. In fact, I like being alone.
So can't remember who it was, but someone once told me a long time ago, that we --being human-- wern't made to be alone. We were made to have a "need" for fellowship. So this summer, I've pretty much tried to be social with everyone I see. Its still hard(cause I'm not used to it as much) but I know that its the way GOD wants it to be.
I'm really glad I'm not the only one whos thought this way. :)

I agree, because not only can the Body of Christ not function, but we personally can't either! BTW batya, this blog is incredible! I just spent the last 20 minutes reading through a bunch of stuff, and I've found a lot of it's very encouraging to me! I think I might start one with the verses I read for my QT and thoughts from that. We'll see. But I defenitely have been impacted from your thoughts. ;) Thanks!
