Proverb 3:27, and Andrew Ripp‘s song entitled Love’s Got a Way, puts the subject of imperfection and need into perspective.  We need to remember the awesome resonsibility and strength the Spirit gives to His children.  There is a purpose for us to be here… in the particular time period, the particular location, and the particular families we were born into.

First off, I wanted to open up the blog with the observation that there is a balance God can give us in dealing with this downfallen world.  There is the calling for us to help our neighbors, and to utilize what God blesses us with {Mark 12:30-31, Matthew 25:15}; but, we shouldn’t misuse the resources in doling out to every needy soul around us.  What needs to happen is that we should wait on the Spirit’s calling to assist people around us.  He will show us areas we can be used in.  That is what makes this walk with Jesus so exciting.  It is seeing His hand working as you are given various assignments.

It takes the pressure off of us when we are given the power from above (Acts 1:8).  There is a picture in my mind of the description of the members of the Body of Christ working as one (1 Corinthians 12-27).  This idea of the Body of Christ using different gifts and talents reminds me of the verse in 1 Corinthians 3:6-8 ; Paul did the planting, and Appollos did the watering.  What one person is able to get done for the Lord, another person can build upon it.  Let us be yielding ourselves to the Lord, letting Him give the increase.  We are all valuable as one Body of Christ.
