building up

So as we all know I coach softball. Sports have always been a major part of my life and I have always liked competition, but team settings are nice as well. We need to all work together, if one person slips in the body there should be several people there to not only pick them up but help them along.
I recall a time when I was really struggling, I talked to Pastors, youth Pastors and others who I respected majorly. I read books, I read the word and I prayed every day for something to lift me out.
Then, a 16 year old who isn't that strong spiritually made a comment that made it all clear to me. They were not just helping me out, they were spurring me on as well. And through that spurring I started doing the things I needed to be doing for the Lord.
Ephesians 4:15-16 Paul said, "Speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the HEad, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work."
There you have it, we all need to do our part, whether you are a 8 year old new Christian or a 75 year old seasoned and spiritually strong believer. Each of us has a place and each of us is to lovingly build up those around us so that we can accomplish the things we can for the Lord. If we are going to reach this community for Christ it is going to take all of us doing their job.
Thanks for reading and sorry things are a bit wacky. I had to work a Golf Tournament today at 6:30am and I couldn't get our internet card on the laptop to work this morning. Tuesday, I will be out as well. SO this is Monday-Tuesday together.
Thanks and God Bless!
