JOINING
I have given you a precious gift by placing you in unity with your brethren. Like scrambled eggs, the Words I give you combine with others and you are like salt to one another, giving each other preservation from the enemy schemes as well as flavor to each other’s lives.
Enjoy this good and wonderful gift of joining with others. Flourish in it for that is what I meant it to be. — A body, a healthy body functioning as one unit; rushing here for healing; rushing there for nourishment. — A Word of encouragement, a Word of confirmation.
There is no competition in the joining process. Merely an acceptance of one another and a mutual respect for one another’s gifts and perspectives. How good it is to see it fit so perfectly when all have lain aside their own ambitions to serve the whole. How good it is to lay aside the superstars and raise Me as your Standard. I rejoice to see you work together and function as one. Thank you.
“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.” (1 Corinthians 12: 12-14)
