Hey guys!
So I'm enjoying reading everyone's posts! They are really enlightening and blessing me! So today's reading was something that I read about all the time because I always try to discern and figure out what my spiritual gift in. In a conversation that I had with Rickey we kind of determined that a spiritual gift, though different, serves the same purpose which is to glorify God, up build his kingdom and minister/witness to others. I think this is important because it helps us to remember that no one is "better" than someone else bc of the gift that they possess. At the end of the day everyone is important. I especially like the v. 25-26.
"That there should be no division in the body, but that it's 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"
These verses speak to accountability which is fitting for what we are doing. It is necessary to ensure that we are checking in with each other and speaking life over situations that were going through. There is no reason that anyone should have to suffer alone wit our struggles. It also encourages us to humble ourselves and understand that victory and defeat are both results of TEAMWORK. We are connected and we can't deny ourselves that connectivity. Love you guys!
