You have a part

You have a part

“The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ.  
For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 
Now the body is not made up of one part but of many.  
If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body.  
And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body.  
If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?  
But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.” 
1 Corinthians 12:12-18
Everyone has a part in the work of the Lord. I know there are those who seem to ooze talent while others don’t know were they fit in at times. Still we all have a place.
We all can’t be pastors or sing in the choir. We all can’t be evangelist or bible teachers. But we all can do something even if it’s just ushering, greeting people at the door as they enter church which is sometimes far more important than the pastor.
A person who doesn’t feel welcome at a church will not stay and it may have eternal consequences.
A greeter or an usher may be the first contact someone has with a Christian.
There’s a man I know. I first met him at a large church. We use to take a bus around to various neighbourhoods during the summer and do an outreach to children.
This man was in his late thirties when I first met him. He had a distinct learning disability and a distinct stutter. But it didn’t stop him from serving the Lord.
He would do anything. We had a Racoon mascot that went with us on the bus he was it and the children loved him.
We lost track of each other for a few years but we met again in the church I currently attend. Where he was helping teach Sunday School.
This man would do everything in the church if he could. When I needed help in the sound room he was willing. Others better educated without learning disabilities took one look at all the nobs and switches on the sound board and ran the other way. Not him he was willing to try. Although after giving it a good try he admitted it wasn’t for him. Still he did his best.
So he does what he can around the church giving out bulletins helping usher. What ever is necessary that is within his ability.
We should never say we don’t have any talent. Or look on others and say well I can’t do what they do so I am useless to the church.
You are never useless to God. God can always use you.
Think about it.
