Most regions of the world are familiar with the amazing phenomenon of snow. Snowflakes are beautiful, uniquely crafted ice crystals. Individual snowflakes are fragile, and they quickly melt if they land on your hand. Yet, en masse they create a force to be reckoned with. They can shut down major cities while creating beautiful landscapes of snow-laden trees whose pictures decorate calendars and become the subject of artwork. They provide pleasure on the ski slopes and joy for children as they make snowmen and ammunition for snowball fights. All because they stick together.
So it is with those of us who follow Christ. Each of us has been uniquely gifted with the capacity to make a contribution to the work of Christ. We were never intended to live in isolation but to work together to become a great force for God and the advance of His cause. As Paul reminds us, the body of Christ is not one member but many (1 Cor. 12:14). All of us are to use our gifts to serve one another so that together we can make a significant difference in our world.
Put your giftedness to work, joyfully cooperate with the giftedness of those around you, and let the wind of the Spirit use you for His glory!
Read: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27
Good evening, Publius...((HUGS))...hope your day was good.
Within seconds of posting time the whole office went black....then the lights flickered and finally came back on.
*sigh* It zapped the thread, so....I’m a bit late.
Been busy writing up an analysis of a Brahms piece for Friday night and getting ready for the chamber music festival entry for Saturday. A big storm cell came through a few hours ago, but I didn't lose power.
