As I look out my window I see snow covered hills. Such a beautiful sight. The clean, bright white against the barren, brown trees. And though the big picture is beautiful, today I am more interested in the details; the detail in each and every flake that combine to make up the whole. And I am reminded of what God has to say about His church.
Scientists have discovered with snow flakes and DNA what God already told us. We are all unique; no two are the same. Not only do we look different, but we are made up of different combinations of personality, talents and gifts. We are all equal, but we are not all the same.
I grew up in a place where it doesn't snow much and though it sure makes it nicer to get around, the dusting of snow they get sure isn't as pretty as the foot of snow were I live now. You can't sled or build a snowman in a dusting; neither does it cover all the ground to make a blanket of white. Individually we are like tiny snowflakes. We are but a dusting, a part of the whole. We are still fearfully and wonderfully made, a life to be celebrated, but our function is limited. However, when we all get together and we are each who God created us to be, we can be of great use and a lot of fun!
So..."let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." (Hebrews 10:24-25)
