During the time I
worked as a nurse case manager for the Healthcare Insurance Industry I managed a
case of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD,) brought on by an injury to my
client’s hand. Within days the local pain of the injury to his hand affected
his entire body!
“For just as the body is one and has many
parts, and all the parts of that body though many, are one body - so also is
Christ.” 1 Corinthians 12:12
Paul taught the church in Corinth about the importance of
every member within the body of Christ. Each of our roles is worthy in the
church. The body of Christ works best when all work together in one accord. I
love how we all have different gifts, how we shine when we blend and share these
beautifully wrapped gifts! Regardless of our gifts, we were all designed to
work together as the body of Christ in unity and peace. Every big or little part
of this networked body creates harmony and balance.
When we understand the significance of our roles, when we
celebrate our gifts and those of others, the simplest tasks are performed with joy
(as all of our work is kingdom work.)
Father, thank You for the opportunity to serve in the
body of Christ - Your work of redemption. How I would hope to receive from You the
“Above and Beyond the Call of Duty Award!”
