GOD NOTICES YOU

1 Corinthians 12:25-26 MSG The way God designed our bodies is a model for understanding our lives together as a church: every part dependent on every other part, the parts we mention and the parts we don’t, the parts we see and the parts we don’t. If one part hurts, every other part is involved in the hurt, and in the healing. If one part flourishes, every other part enters into the exuberance.
27 You are Christ’s body—that’s who you are! You must never forget this. Only as you accept your part of that body does “part” mean anything.

I think we all appreciate the warmer Spring weather and we’ve been able to get out into the garden again to clear up after winter. Our violets and polyanthus plants are looking lovely and I couldn’t resist picking a posy.😊

The violets are so unobtrusive you almost miss them under the hedge and life is a bit like that as well. There are some blessings, and some people who are very unobtrusive and if we’re not careful we don’t always appreciate them as much as we should do, or realise how necessary they are to us.

 

1 Corinthians 12:22 NLT In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary. Scripture reminds us that every single person in the body of Christ is so important, even the shrinking violets! We all have a part to play whether we’re in the background or the foreground. The lovely thing is God notices each one of us and we all matter to Him. He reminds us He doesn’t forget whatever we have done for Him, however seemingly insignificant.

Hebrews 6:10 :NLT For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers, as you still do.

We’re all in it together and we are all important to God so we never need to feel unwanted or unneeded. God chose each one of us from before the world was made, and He chose us because He wanted us to be part of His family, to have a place in His plan. 

So whether we feel like a shrinking violet that nobody notices, or we’re a sunflower that everybody sees, we can be very certain that God notices us and appreciates us, and He is the only One that matters.😊 Amen.

Have a very blessed weekend.x
