We All Need Each Other

Just as body, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:12

I know I've said it many times that we are all different. Yes, I hope we do all understand that. We all probably do. Since, we are all smart people. :-) We are all different, yet we all have the same God. And, he is pretty darn smart. He knows we all need each other.

I can imagine people's deep thoughts of stuff like, " I don't need anyone else. I can take care of myself!" Or, " I don't care what so and so thinks about me. They can think whatever they want!" So and so doesn't like me? So what! Or, perhaps we may feel envious of other people's gifts or talents.
Sounds like you? I confess to having some deep thoughts of the above statements sometime in my life.

All I know is we may not like it. We may not believe it. We may not do anything about it. But, we have to get over that and accept the fact that we all need each other. Others need to make us feel  encouraged. And, we need to do the same to others. We cannot do that by ourselves. Well, maybe you can
play the character of mr. or miss (vain) person and stand in front of the mirror and gloat and tell yourself how wonderful and beautiful you are. You can say that loud and proud to yourself. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. That's great for some self motivation I guess. I'm just thinking it just makes us feel nice when someone else does it to us. You know what I mean?Sadly to say there are probably people who do that because that's the only way they get encouragement.

That kind of makes me feel sad. To think that there are some people out there who need encouragement, so they stand in front of the mirror and praise themselves often. Doesn't net sound sad? I'm suddenly thinking of the loners back in high school. I said I wonder I where they are now. Joe said they're probably millionaires. Then actually can be a possibility.

Perhaps, there may be times you become stranded by yourself
For example, your car suddenly stops in the desert, and you get a flat tire. I'm thinking you're going to need help. Time to call somebody? Time to play hitchhiker?

Folks, I'm thinking another another mindset we should change about ourselves is this. Alien like I said before about not caring what other people think about you? Um, I think we should care what other people think about us. And what other people should think about us is good and positive things. Cuz if that is the case then you will be more likely to get encouragement from them. Am I right? Also, new yourself would be more likely to give them encouragement. Again, am I right? You both will leave the " bad beef" at home.

Let me end my writing with another example. I will utilize a church service as an example. You know how everyone's gifts are different but once you put them all together with other people it just works! Seriously, it becomes a beautiful thing! I'm thinking like with the church service. You have the worship team, the pastor, the various instrument players. Perhaps, the drama, choir, etc. See, all these people in the church service in  front  of the whole congregation on the platform are different people with different talents and different gifts. They worship the same God. They all want to do
What God has blessed them with. And, they all want to give a want to give their praise and a pushing back to God for his glory to be magnified!

God knew that we would all need each other. That's why he made us all different. He made us so that we would compliment other people. God made us so that we would love and be loved by other people. He made us so that we would need and be needed by other by other people. God made us so that we would encourage pe

ople and be encouraged by people. Wasn't iron God pretty darn smart? :)
