Let me encourage you: do not be discouraged if you have only twelve people listening, and do not be discouraged if you have twelve million listening and many of them make hurtful comments. Live the life God calls you to live, and don’t worry about the rest.
Many times we want to be sure we can do something before we even try. The thought that we might not succeed makes us nervous about making the effort.
As it is, we see that God has carefully placed each part of the body right where he wanted it. . . . The way God designed our bodies is a model for understanding our lives together as a church: every part dependent on every other part, the parts we mention and the parts we don’t, the parts we see and the parts we don’t. If one part hurts, every other part is involved in the hurt, and in the healing. If one part flourishes, every other part enters into the exuberance.
When God created you, He created a work of art, a masterpiece not meant to be compared to any other form of creation.
