The Body Part 1 A young person was talking about their bent the other day and how we need to accept it. That God meets us at our need. It’s true that He meets us where we’re at when we get saved. He doesn’t expect us to clean ourselves up first. He saves you as you are and He cleans you up. He doesn’t always meet us at our need though, especially when He’s trying to straighten your bent. Before we met our Lord we went our own way- dressed, talked, acted the way we wanted to, but now we are part of His body. No more me, just us. We sometimes don’t like having to change, to conform to His will. You may feel out of place, that you don’t belong. Is it because you don’t fit, or they don’t fit you? If you don’t fit is it because of bad teaching or the body there is broken or divided? Then pray and ask the Lord for guidance. If they don’t fit you then it’s probably you who needs to do some changing. Remember, none of us are perfect, but we are related though Jesus. In Jesus none of us are individuals, but part of the body of Christ. We are not our own, but we were bought with a price. We are to serve and sacrifice for Jesus and His body. So if your bents need to be straightened, let Him start straitening them. See Rom. 8:29, 12:2-8, 1Cor. 12, 1 Peter 1:14. By His grace and mercy. John.
