Walk in Love

Praise the Lord Our God for He mighty within us to the tarring down of all strong holds. I was reading the word this morning in 1 Corinthians 12:25 "That there should be no schism in the body;but that the members should have the same care for one another. The Holy Spirit started me thinking on this from the aspect of what it would be like if the whole body of Christ every where could be concerned about each other. Paul wrote this to church at Corinth because there was so much division going on in the church.Paul through the direction of the Holy Spirit addresses this by using the anology of the body.There is no part of our body that we dont need and we must take care of it so that each part is able to serve the other.If we fail to watch and protect a part and something happens to it we suffer at the loss of that part. We still go on but all the time we feel like we are just struggling to do what we used to do. So it is in the body of Christ when we fail to love one another and be there for each other.Listen to this veres fron the Amplified Bible 1 Cor.12:25"So that there should be no division or discord or lack of adaption[of the parts of the body to each other],but the members all alike should have a mutal interest in and care one for another. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ and when one in the body hurts we should all hurt and come to the aid of each other. But in stead in many cases we forget how to forgive and how to love the way Jesus forgave us and has loved us in all our short comings.Pastor what if I have asked forgivness and they say they have forgiven me but it just feels like they havent when I am around them. You have to ask your self this question am I confussing trust with forgiveness.
I have known people who have truly forgiven some one but at the same time it takes them a long to to develope trust in that person again. To me when I say I forgive I just let it all go and get on with my life however there are people who are very cautoius about who they make friends with and when they do make friends and that trust is betrayed in there eyes they may forgive that person but they struggle in trusting that person. What do we do in that situation I have found that if you and I truly love that person we will pray very hard for God to show His love to them and work hard to gain there trust once again. Just remember we are all members of the body of Christ and we need each other even if it seems like we dont, each one of us are a very important part of the body and Jesus put us there to show his love and support to each other. May Lord fill your day with His happines. God Bless frm Pastor Ken.
