A Piece Of The Puzzle At her birthday celebration, the honored quest turned the tables by giving everyone at the party a gift. She gave each of us a personal note expressing what we mean to her, along with encouraging word about the person God made us to be. Enclosed with very note was one piece of jigsaw puzzle as a reminder that each of us is unique and important in Gods plan. That experience helped me to read 1 Corinthians 12 with new eyes. Paul compared the church the body of Christ to a human body. Just as our physical bodies have hands, feet, eyes, and ears, all are part of a unified body. No follower of Christ can claim independence from the body, nor can one part tell another that it is not needed. God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. Its easy to feel less important than others whose gifts are different and perhaps more visible than ours. The Lord, however, wants us to see ourselves as He does uniquely created and highly valued by Him. You are one piece of a picture that is not complete without you. God has gifted you to be an important part of the body of Christ to bring Him honor. Lord, help me not to compare myself with others in Your family. May I seek instead to be the person Youve made me to be, and help me to use what Youve given me to bless others today. Your life is Gods gift to you; make it your gift t God. Forever Rely On God, be blessed today.
