A treasure which can give me everything I need

"For anything worth having one must pay the price;
and the price is always work, patience, love, self-sacrifice.
No paper currency, no promises to pay, but the gold of real service."
- John Burroughs 1837-1921

"Who then is the faithful and wise servant,
whom the master has put in charge of the servants
in his household to give them their food at the proper time?
It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions."
Matthew 24:45-47

Dear God, do give me spiritual food and blessing.
Let me carry your Word as a precious treasure
which can give me everything I need.

What part of the Body am I?


1 Corinthians 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.


Dutch version / Nederlandse versie > Welk deel van het lichaam ben jij
Previous> Parts of the body of Christ




Thoughts
Phil Ware    Some questions we each need to ask ourselves: What part of the Body am I? What's my function, my purpose? How are I blessing others in the Body of Christ? Who is someone in the Body who does a great deal of service to others who needs my encouragement and praise, and perhaps my assistance? Who is someone who feels neglected and lonely who needs my love to be shown to him or her?

Prayer
    Father, thank you for making me a part of something so precious, so awesome, as the bodily presence of the Lord. Please help each person in our church family to find his or her gifts of service and to use those gifts in ways that touch others with your grace and that bring you glory. In Jesus' name. Amen.
