Serving the Body of Christ...

So... I've been thinking about how every Christian is a part of Jesus Christ's Body a.k.a the Church. If EVERY follower of Jesus is exquisitely fashioned to do EXACTLY what our Lord intended for her/him to do in His Kingdom, then one of the things I can do to love you is to help you discover 'where you fit' in His Body. This means that, together, we can embrace our differences (in His Body) instead of trying to 'help' each other become more like ourself for the sake of our comfort or insecurity. This, then, would define an 'inclusive love:' I love you by welcoming your diversity and by helping you serve Jesus with me - in unity - in Jesus' body. And if I fail to do this, I do not love you. If I do not love you, the Body of Christ suffers. And if the Body of Christ suffers, I suffer from that as well. Hmmm....
