1 Corinthians 12:25-27
so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
I once heard Joyce Meyer give a sermon on these verses. She spoke about what would happen if body parts decided they wanted to be other parts. She asked what would happen if your foot got jealous of your ear. It was angry because it wanted to be an ear. It was tired of walking around all day and it wanted to hear something. She even put her shoe on her ear. It was so funny, but we got the point. We are all part of the body. We all have our jobs to do and not one part is more important than the other. We all work together to make the body work perfectly as it was meant to be.
I am a Pastor’s wife and I am here to tell you, he is NOT the most important man at church. Nope, not at all. Seriously, could he do his job if the church wasn’t cleaned, or the grass wasn’t taken care of, or maintenance wasn’t done on the building? Could he do his job if no one came to hear him? What about those that volunteer to teach Sunday School, or run the pantry, and all the other ministries provided by the church? No, everyone in the body of Christ is needed just as much as the other.
Next time you feel like you don’t matter in the body, try hanging your shoes on your ears and let them do the walking!
Lord, I am happy being me. I know you have a that is perfect for me to do and I will do it to my best ability. ~amen
