creating a masterpiece

 "Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ....You are the body of Christ. Each one of you is a part of it." 1 Corinthians 12:12, 27

Walking (or running) down the hallways at school is a fun part of my job. Whether delivering or picking up items, i feel there is always Someone with me.  With camera in my pocket, i try and scan the classwork on display in the halls with the eyes of God.  My thoughts are on how God might view it and to look for inspiration from Him to use for devotions. 

A recent piece of artwork portrayed one picture; yet, it was actually made up of several students' individual pieces.  It was as if God had taken an ordinary, simple picture and reminded me, as believers, we each have an important part in this world.  We are each uniquely designed by God to work together in fulfilling His Great Commission.  The picture below would not be as beautiful or complete if even one piece was missing.  It takes all parts to complete the masterpiece... or message.

We can serve Him better when we work together

Father, it is true that on our own we can serve You.  But WOW! when we serve You, our Creator, together a true masterpiece is accomplished. You have placed within our heart a specific role to fulfill in growing Your Kingdom. Without our part in serving You, something or someone would be missed.  May we pick up our brushes boldly and paint a vivid picture of love and service to You today and every day.

we are loved and chosen by God,

may we live like we believe it,
