The Perfect Passage

I want to start this off with a little scripture.

Here we go:

Ephesians 4:4-7 (The Message) (Warning, put your thinking cap on. This is an amazing passage, so read it slowly and carefully).

"You were all called to travel on the same road and in the same direction, so stay together, both outwardly and inwardly. You have one Master, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who rules over all, works through all, and is present in all. Everything you are and think and do is permeated with Oneness. But that doesn't mean you should all look and speak and act the same. Out of the generosity of Christ, each of us is given his own gift."

Now, I know that was a lot to take in, SO let's read it again.

Following my last post about the denominations, this verse truly says it all.

I was sitting in O'Henry's Coffee Shop this afternoon reading and journaling and I happen to come across this verse. It truly spoke to me.

And let me tell you why!

Although we are ALL different denominations, we still believe in the same God, serve the same God, and ALL LOVE THE SAME GOD. We might have different ways of worship or different outlooks of life, but it truly doesn't matter. (unless it's a faith issue that is).

We love the same God, but we are all different.

We are also, supposed to stick together. When one falls, pick them up. Help them. Be a sister or brother to them and show them love. I love that we are a family. We are called to help one another and stick together through the good and the bad.

Also, Christ gave us different gifts to share with the world. How cool right?!

For some people it's the gift of teaching, some it's the gift of evangelism.

If you haven't figured out what yours is, go to God. Ask Him to make it evident to you so that you can do work for the Kingdom of God.

So, again How Freaking Amazing is it that we are all different denominations, but we still love and serve the same God?!

Can I get a WOOP WOOP?!?

HAHA!

Anyway, let me know what you think. I'd love to chat with you about it more!

Love to all :)
