Bible in a Year :
Speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.
Andrew Card was the Chief of Staff to American president George W. Bush. In an interview regarding his role in the White House he explained, “In each staff member’s office hangs a framed statement of purpose: ‘We serve at the pleasure of the President.’ But that does not mean that we serve to please the President or to win his or her pleasure. Rather, we serve to tell him what he needs to know to do his job.” That job is to govern the United States of America.
In so many of our roles and relationships, we slip into people-pleasing mode rather than building up each other in unity, as the apostle Paul often urged. In Ephesians 4, Paul wrote, “Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith” (vv. 11-13). In verses 15-16, Paul cut through our people-pleasing tendencies, stressing that these gifts should be expressed by “speaking the truth in love” so that “the whole body . . . grows and builds itself up in love.”
As believers in Jesus, we serve people to build them up and to accomplish God’s purposes. Whether or not we please others, we’ll please God as He works through us to create unity in His church.
Reflect & Pray
Who do you serve to please? How might God’s higher presence direct your words?
Dear God, I want to please You by speaking the truth in love to my brothers and sisters.

An opera singer was performing her fourth encore of the night, captivating the audience with her exceptional vocal range and stage presence. However, an unexpected turn of events occurred during her performance.
At the point where a male tenor part was supposed to complement her singing, there was silence instead. Surprisingly, a man seated in the second row of the audience took it upon himself to fill the void and beautifully sang the missing verse.
The impromptu duet took everyone by surprise, including the professional opera singer who was moved to place her hands over her heart in appreciation, exclaiming, “oh grazie!” This heartwarming moment was captured on video and quickly went viral, garnering over 2.6 million views.Watch the video in the comments below 👇
