Now here is what I am trying to say:
All of you together are the one body of Christ,
and each one of you is a separate and necessary part of it.
1 Corinthians 12:27 Living Bible
***
As Saint Teresa of Avila put it,
Christ has no body on earth but yours.
Yours are the eyes with which he looks compassionately on this world.
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good.
Yours are the hands with which he blesses all the world.
Christ has no body now on earth but yours!
John Mark Comer, Practicing the Way
***
In my experience, [God] will often gently set
a small burden of love on your heart—
an idea that comes to mind in prayer,
an unexpected opportunity in the middle of your day—
to participate in the outward flow of the Trinity’s love to all.
John Mark Comer, Practicing the Way
