The Body Of Christ

A phrase that God keeps putting in my heart is "Do Your Part". The Body of Christ can accomplish much when everyone does a little. As God is preparing us for the Refuge to open I am amazed at the willingness from people to help. This week alone I learned that a family decided to get rid of their gym membership and give that money to help the Refuge for Women. An individual sent a note this week saying she sold some maternity clothese on craigs list and wanted to give it to help transform lives. A Chiropractor approached me this week and said he would like to offer his skills for any girls that might need some work done. A landscaper wanted to know if we needed plants installed when the house is complete. A decorator wanted to know if she could help fill the home with a personal touch when the construction is done. The list goes on and on. 1 Corinthians 12:7 says "Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good." Verse 12 says "The body is a unity, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ." Praise God for the gifts that He has given so many people. Helping these women is a God-sized assignment that will take all people doing their part.
