I Corinthians 12:12-27 (NIV) – Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. (v. 14) (focus verse 14)
Every member of the Body of Christ has a God-appointed place with a God-appointed function for a God-appointed purpose. No one member can regard the function of any other member as unnecessary. The Body is built up by that which every joint supplies—the contribution of each member (Eph. 4:16). “God brings into play the function of each member in accordance with a priority based not on the intrinsic merit of the function but on the then-current need.” God ordained Jeremiah to his prophetic office in accordance with His foreknowledge, “notwithstanding the seeming incongruity between Jeremiah’s introverted personality and the extrovert demands of his ministry” (Jer. 1:5-7). Every part supplies something of importance to the body. You are important! Don’t underestimate your role.
