1 Corinthians 12:12-26
12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.
14 For the body does not consist of one member but of many.
15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? 18 But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. 19 If all were a single member, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, yet one body.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 24 which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, 25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.
26 If one member suffers, all suffer together;
if one member is honored, all rejoice together.
[***** Psalm 103:5
Who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's {{ Rejoice with those who Rejoice :) }}]
+ PS Congratulations to the Patriots on the amazing game scores of Tom Brady. Wow to the Team as well!!!
We had such a good Radiance Class at The Woodlands United Methodist Church with Susan Kent and Kimberly. We heard about being sealed and uplifted in the Holy Spirit.
The Way the pages of the Bible are build absolutely agree. The Chapters continue together, in God's Word, providing us insight in Growing the Body of Christ.
A great summary would be tucked in and borrowed from:
Ephesians 4
Speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head. 16From Him the whole body is fitted and held together by every supporting ligament. And as each individual part does its work, the body grows and builds itself up in love.
So we find we all have unique aspects of the Holy Spirit. Unique Gifts. Unique perspective to Bring Forth the Great Love and Amazing Grace of Jesus Christ. Seeing all of the Body of Christ have part of Jesus Himself.
1 Corinthians 13
13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three;
but the greatest of these
is Love.
1 John 4:19
We love because he first loved us.
Abba,
We are Blessed to have Your Word.
John has lived knowing Jesus Christ. A long life.
Telling us for He who is in you, is greater than he who is in the world.
You have sent Your only Son Jesus into the world, so that we might live through him to be the propitiation for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. Father God, You abides in us and Your love gives us Hope, Faith and Love.
Confidently we pray in Jesus, letting You have our every prayer. With loving and Sincere Hearts.
Praying for the end of aches and pains for flu season. Rest and healing for all in need.
An increase of Joy and Thanksgiving for the Blessings of Each Day - Renewed. Looking for this as if for Easter Eggs. The joy of being God's own, given gifts and Blessings. And seeing God's Gifts and Blessings in other's for His Goodness.
What we could not even know to ask, God would ask in the Holy Spirit. Let His Continual Love Pour Forth over those we love. The communion of the Believers joining with Jesus all over the world. We ask for an increase of God's Love helping us all to give greater hope and Love to all of His Children.
Amen in Jesus!
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
