Moments for Mums: IdentitySample

I think there is a reason why we so often draw our identity from the communities to which we belong. We were created to be part of a ‘body’—many individuals uniquely made to form a whole. 

I am sometimes tempted to walk away from my fellow flawed humans who make up the church, with the conflict and division that can so easily be stirred up. It is verses such as this one that remind me that I was not created to be just an individual but part of a much larger family. 

My identity goes beyond who I am—my personality and giftings. The fuller picture is found in how these fit into the larger picture of the body of Christ. 

Question
How can you bring who you are into the part of the body of Christ you are in?

Prayer
Jesus, show me how I can be more fully part of your body. We pray for unity and peace across the many individuals that form this body. Amen
