The Body

As I was hanging out with my group of friends from high school the other night I got a good understanding of how the church works together as the body of Christ. When the whole group of us is together everything is right, things are joyful, we all have our role we play and there's just a peace about it all. But if just two of us get together it can be kind of weird. Like if you just had the foot and the tongue you couldn't get much work done as "the body." Sometimes just two of us being together can be nice though, like maybe an arm and a hand working together, but its still not as good as when the whole group is together. As part of the "body of Christ" I've got to plug into and be involved in the life of the rest of the body. As much as I think I can be a foot and accomplish what I need to on my own I will never reach my full potential until I find the body that's missing one foot and has a place just for me.
