Different By Design

If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
— 1 CORINTHIANS 12:19 - 20 (NIV)

God didn’t design us all to be the same. We are created unique in order to complement one another to be more productive as the body of Christ. True, we should all have the same goal of spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, but how much would we get accomplished if we all had the same thoughts and ways?

Be sure to welcome each other’s uniqueness of opinions and ideas. Encourage one another to share their thoughts and help groom them into fruition. The body of Christ is made up of different members by design, and some of those “different” members God placed in your ministries. He is always doing a new thing and uses us to bring them about. Fan the flames of different thinking and help advance the kingdom of God.

Heavenly Father, I will welcome each believer into the body of Christ as You have placed them. I will encourage them to walk in their uniqueness as we grow Your kingdom together. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
