“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.” I Corinthians 12:12
Each one of us has a purpose in the Church and community. You are designed by God with certain gifts and talents that are necessary for everything to grow and function the way it should. If you are in your place doing what you were designed to do you will be happy and fulfilled in the place.
Your church and your entire community will benefit from you doing that which you are called to do. You might not be noticed because you are functioning correctly. However, just like a machine with a broken part will cease to function, you will cause the work of Christ to stumble and sometimes completely halt if you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing. We all have a purpose are you fulfilling yours?
Right now you may be feeling useless. Maybe you don't know what to do with yourself. Consider the old Boy Scout motto: "Do one good deed daily." Think about the lonely people who are inside their homes with no one to talk too. Think about those in prison who are concerned about their families. Consider the essential workers who must stay on the front lines of our culture. Think about the teachers who are trying to adapt to a distance learning module. Can you help bear the burdens of anyone in your sphere of life? You can make a difference.
