Thought of the day:
For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body— whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. For in fact the body is not one member but many. Reference 1 Corinthians 12:12-14 NKJV
In pursuing our calls, sometimes we can forget that there are others who are there to help. We may tend to want to get the job done and so, we don’t wait on others to complete their portion. We can become impatient and maybe upset that they are not moving as fast as we would want them to, so, we step in and do it.
There are things we overlook if we do this. Maybe, God is working on that person. Maybe He’s having them take a look at themselves and realize that they need to be involved. Maybe He’s growing them into their position and preparing them for what He wants from them. Maybe He’s working on us and having us not be impatient or even work on our anger.
We may not know the reasons of what’s going on in someone’s life but, we need to not be so quick to take over for someone, unless, of course, it is confirmed that we are to do so. It’s an important part of our walks that we work with others, to help encourage us and to build us up in the Faith. It is important too so that we are not trying to carry the whole burden. Hopefully, it helps encourage those who are sitting on the sidelines to jump in as well.
Let’s reflect to day and be sure we’re either not taking on too much or that we’re not being lazy in our calls.
