Can people see God among you?

Are the people in your church using the gifts God had given them in harmony and in such a way that when outsider visit they see God among you? Are you? Have you thought about the contribution that God had planned for you to make in his family? It was never the plan for everyone to be the same. Paul asks in chapter 12 what kind of body Jesus would have if everyone was an eye. We all have different gifts. Different roles, different perspectives and when they work together to declare the praise of God's glory, people respond by seeing God among you. We display God best in unity and harmony. We display God best when we as individuals fade into the whole that is the church, together we are Christ incarnate for the world today. Filled with his Spirit, gifted by his Spirit, for the benefit of the others we show the watching world we are not the same.
