Ephesians 4:13
This will continue until we all come to such
unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature in the
Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.
God in His sovereign rule has placed each of us exactly where He wants us. He did not place us where we are to stand alone. He placed each of us in a place that is linked perfectly with the world around us for the good of the Body of Christ.
Each one of us is a beacon extending its light 360 degrees. It is our individual responsibility to let God work through us so that the fullness and abundance of His Son can flow through us to the world that surrounds us.
We must continually ask ourselves, "Am I building up the Body of Christ or am I looking for my own personal development?" We are measuring up to the standard of Our Savior when we are seeking to do the work of Our Father in heaven above all else.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for placing us among family, friends, neighbors and co-workers who, through Your handiwork, will help perfect us in Christ. We thank You for giving us the opportunity to help perfect them by following the urgings of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We praise Your name for giving us this magnificent Body of Christ here on earth so that we can learn to measure up to the full and complete standard of Our Savior. May we live our lives for Your glory.
