ONE BODY

For as the body is one, and hath many members,
and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body:
so also is Christ.
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body,
whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
whether we be bond or free;
and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

For the body is not one member, but many.
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand,
I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye,
I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing?
If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body,
as it hath pleased him.
And if they were all one member, where were the body?
But now are they many members, yet but one body.

And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee:
nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
Nay, much more those members of the body,
which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable,
upon these we bestow more abundant honour;
and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together,
having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked.
That there should be no schism in the body;
but that the members should have the same care one for another.
And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it;
or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
1COR 12:12-27

It is not my place to tell another, in HIS BODY, how to believe
and what to follow. If HOLY SPIRIT is in that one,
I must submit to HOLY SPIRIT’S WORK in that one.
I AM here to SHOW HOLY SPIRIT’S WORK through ME
and in ME.

I am to share what I know of my responsibility in HIS BODY.
I expect others to share what they know about their responsibility
in HIS BODY. That is all.

If one gets upset in one's witness, that one is witnessing for one's self,
not for GOD. GOD does not need to prove HIMSELF.

I do not tell and I do not know how anyone should live their lives
except, that one’s life should HONOR GOD. If I do not
understand your way of living for HIM, as long as I know
that you are for HIM, I know that you are not against me.

If I, a foot in HIS BODY, would try to tell a hand, in HIS BODY,
how to live, I would be working against the HEAD, JESUS.
Who am I? Why would I, a foot, tell a hand how to be?

I would be trying to change HIS WORK in and on that part
of HIS BODY. The HEAD, JESUS, would not be pleased.
HE CREATED every part of HIS BODY for HIS PURPOSE
and HIS PURPOSE only. It is not for me to go and change
that part to be like me.

GOD CREATED us UNIQUE because HE WANTS us to need each other.
What I don’t know; another knows.
What another does not know; I know and so on.

In our CREATED differences, we should realize how much we need
each other. This is my understanding of HIS PLAN.
We are to be ONE because that is HIS INTENTION.
Let Us Not Compare Each Other to Each Other.
You are PERFECTLY CREATED to BE what GOD CREATED YOU
to BE. HE is forming YOU, right now.

In HIS PLAN,
Our Differences Should Be Our Strength.
What a GOD!!!

LOVE, RICOEL
