I just received the following by email. I think it fits very well such a diverse Christian forum:

And the reality about the Body of Christ:
Psalm 5
7 Because of your great mercy,
I come to your house, Lord,
and I am filled with wonder
as I bow down
to worship
at your holy temple.
A long time ago I saw a vision of a box with candy
Do you know Quality Street Candies?!
We had them in the Netherlands a long time ago!
A big box with different candies ( The taste and smell and collor of each one was different)
But I remember they all where very good!
Then the Lord showed me that His purpose for His body was the same as the box of candies!
Unity in deversity!
We all have a different taste, smell and collor ( we are unique)
But together we are HIS Body!
And He gives us HIS quality!
But then He showed me that we where not unique anymore!
We all looked the same....because if we wanted to participate a congregation we needed to walk and talk all in the same way!
(The foundation they build on, was not The Lord but their own doctrines)
And I saw the vision of the box filled with different candy, changed in a box with a sticky mass, you did not recognize the different candy anymore, and it did not smell good, and it did not taste good, and the collors where gone!
The quality was gone!
The world is standing before great trials and nothing will be the same anymore within a short time, the world will change dramatic
We can hear the footstaps of our Lover!
So wake up, and be yourselve! Trust Him, He will heal you and make you holy!
.
This morning I woke up, because I heared the sound of a hamer cutting on a stone!
And suddenly I realized that He is the one who takes us ( living stone) in His hand, and He is the one who takes care of how we must look, He removes the dirth, and will place us together with the other stones!
We can rest, in His hands, HE WILL DO IT!
And the different stones will be together one Temple because Yeshua will be the cement between each of us.
Then we can be the Bride, He wants us to be, without judgement, without all things that come out of the flesh!
Jesus is asking from us to be His witness not to convince or persuade.
He can help us to LOVE each other, but also to love and help the apple of His eye The Jewish people!
Not only those who recognize Yeshua, no we must comfort all of HIS people!
All of them, and HIS love that He will shine through us, will melted all the walls like wax!
It is time, arise and shine!
Time is short and the world must see that our God is alive and is coming back real soon!
May this message bless you!

BTW, a family member in the Netherlands used to send us a chocolate letter for the first initial of our names every year for Christmas. She said that was a tradition in the Netherlands.
