Author Rasalyn Ikpatt takes you on a sweet journey filled
will awe and wonder at our divine worth. You can feel her commitment and love
of the subject through her words. While my beliefs differ ever so slightly from
hers I still found the book full of some wonderful truths. I would recommend this book for anyone who wants
an insight into some of the comforting beliefs of Christianity. I would particularly
recommend this book for any Christians who struggle with feelings of
worthlessness and low self-esteem.
Excerpt
“So we, being many, are one body in
Christ, and every one members one of another” (Rom. 12:5).
This is the frame or support system
that keeps us in balance in Christ. It is a network of how God positioned each
of us in Christ for good works. With this in mind, we know and operate within
our bearings, our assigned measure of faith, and our callings without jealousy
or competition as everyone does his or her part individually but in unison and
for a common goal. The human body must be understood as a single unit with many
parts for it to function properly. There are no unnecessary parts in the body.
As I’m sitting here, typing, my entire body is involved according to each one’s
use and capacity. My fingers seem to be the busiest parts right now, but my
mind is equally busy. My feet know their contribution is to just be on the
floor. My knees know they need to stay bent; my eyes know how important it is
that they work with my mind and my fingers in unison. Many other parts seem
dormant, but if they were out of working order in any way, this whole typing
wouldn’t be possible.
This passage helps us to understand what God is doing and
how He planned life for us in relation to other believers. They are not
separate individuals but different parts of the same body. Each believer
depends on others to survive and grow into his or her full potential. There are
no other ways to achieve this union but to do it as God planned it. You need to
know how you fit into the kingdom and how your purpose contributes to the kingdom
of God.
You also need to know and see the need for others to come into their
respective places in the kingdom. You will be more effective when you operate
within your gifts with a full understanding that the fullness of life for the
whole body depends on the growing of others into their gifts. You will be more
tolerant of others; you will pray more for their well-being and spiritual
strength than you accuse or rebuke them. This verse is information that puts a
new perspective in our walk, and beautifully changes our image to fit into our
own place in the kingdom, while making room for others to do the same. It
births the love that
marks us as His own. Our perfect image
looks glorious from here.
