One Body, Many Parts

GEPC is made up of many parts. Each and everyone of us plays a role in the church. 1 Corinthians 12-31 tells us that each and everyone is blessed with a gift to serve the church. Be it helpers, drivers, encouragers, those who handles song sheets, food, worship, PA...we are all special. To God, no matter big or small the part we play, we all are of EQUAL IMPORTANCE.


Verse 15 says " If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to that body. If the ear should say "Because I am not the eye, I do not belong to the body"...and God does not want us to think it this way. Because in verse 17 it says " If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be?" God gave us different functions to work in harmony with one another.

The church is like a puzzle. A puzzle contains puzzle pieces of different sizes: some may be big, some may be small. Every pieces are required to fit to make a COMPLETE picture. Thus if any piece went missing, then the picture will not be complete afterall, and i dun think that anybody wants to hang the picture puzzle on the wall, eventhough one teeny weeny puzzle is missing! See how important that small size puzzle is?? Each and everyone makes a difference in the church, eventhough we may just be the one preparing refreshments or just a guitarist or a usherer or anything la...

What matters more to GOD is our hearts! He does not look at the outward appearances or what we can do. As long as we put our heart into doing it in the Name of the LORD, for "the LORD searches the heart...." 1 Chronicles 28:9.

P.S: GOD watches every small deeds even if others may not notice it.

Romans 12:4-8 tells us bout the same thing. So if you got time, do read it.

Jesus is LORD...

This life is unpredictable..one minute you're breathing..the next second you're gone..its too short to waste..why not cherish the things around you now and start counting your blessings...but when you cherish something so much...before you know it suddenly slips out of your hand..and that's the end...then how can i possibly hold on to something and never let go??..that is not up to us to decide..God knows whether that something is for you or not...we just have to have faith..for He knows best..when you learn how to let go of something so precious to you..you are exercising your trust that if its God's will that something will always be yours..if its not yours then He has something else even better..i know its scary..it happened to me..n I'm still learning to trust HIM in total obedience...God, you are in control..AMEN..

The story of a girl who once stumbled but was lifted again....

There was this beautiful garden.. filled abundantly with flowers of all kinds..the sweet and fresh aroma lingered all around..it was a beautiful place indeed. A little girl was seen strolling along the garden with her Father hand in hand. She was a good child..just looking in amazement but did not dare touch even a petal without the father's consent. Her FATHER was delighted to see HIS daughter being so obedient that HE decided to pluck a rose for her to play. She was contented and happy..."Thank you daddy" the girl smiled. After strolling for sometime, she caught a glimpse of a little boy playing in the garden. She was excited and wanted to play along. Her FATHER allowed her to join him but warned them not to go far away from HIS sight. They had a wonderful time playing together in the garden...her FATHER enjoyed watching them running around and having a jolly good time. After a while the little girl's FATHER said that HE has to depart for a while but will be right back and HE reminded them of HIS commands. The two little ones continued playing...later the boy caught sight of a lovely butterfly not very far from where they were...he decided that they followed it...but the girl told the little boy that she promised her FATHER never to go anywhere else from where they were...The little boy convinced the girl that they won't go too far and that they will be back before her FATHER returns. She trusted him and agreed to follow on. They began running after the butterfly...not even stopping to catch their breath and before they know it they were far far away from their initial spot...The little boy assured her that they will find their way back but the more they ran the more they got lost..they did not give up and continued running..suddenly the little girl fell hard unto the ground and her knees were bleeding...she started crying in pain..her FATHER heard HIS daughter's voice and immediately came running towards her..The boy saw her FATHER and he was afraid that he may get scolded for his disobedience so he quickly ran off leaving the little girl behind all alone and badly injured. In the nick of time, her FATHER found her and quickly lifted her of the ground into HIS arms and wiped away her tears saying..."It's going to be alright my child, DADDY's here...she was comforted by HIS gentle voice and hugged HIM..the girl's FATHER attended to her wounds...made sure it was cleaned and dressed. The little girl said that the wounds were painful..her DADDY replied saying "Yes, i know it is painful but it will all be alright soon my dear trust me alright?"...the little girl nodded her head and apologized for her disobedience and repented...Her DADDY said.."As long as you hold my hand and never let go, I will never ever let you get hurt nor forsake you and that is a promise that will not be broken"...The little girl replied..."Thank you PAPA".....I lOVE YOU!!


This story tells us that our dearest FATHER in heaven has an ever forgiving heart because HIS love for us is everlasting. He is the same today, yesterday and tomorrow, never to change. Every tear we cry is collected in a bottle and recorded into HIS book. As long as we renew our trust and faith in HIM everyday, He will lead us and guide us to the very end. He is our LORD, JESUS CHRIST.
