Be the Body
I was thinking yesterday how much I long for the Body of Christ. There are many who claim to be a part of His Body but I don’t see many living like Christ instructed. I don’t see much servanthood or love flowing to others. I don’t see Believers preferring others above themselves. I don’t often see people taking the time to encourage others either. Maybe a quick “I’ll be praying for you” but not a willingness to give much of their time.
I look forward to getting to Heaven and seeing my loved ones who are already gone but, more than that, I treasure time with my Brothers and Sisters now. When we get to Heaven, we won’t need as much encouragement and uplifting as we need down here. Sure, it will be wonderful to worship together there but what a blessing to worship together down here, to pray together, to hug each other, or just to be there for each other. It’s easy for me to get busy too but I hope I’m never too busy to meet a genuine need or to be there to encourage someone who is having a hard time. You never know how important this may be for someone. Take the time to encourage someone today.
