Totally Complete pt. 2

Often we tend to get caught paying attention and envying someone else’s assignment/ job and mentally attempting to figure out why so and so can do what they do and you can’t. I remember a business man once said “It was not meant for everyone to own businesses, if everyone were business owners, the economy would truly fall apart”…further saying “Who would work/ run the company? This is why employees and every other position are so necessary.” Image if every puzzle piece were cut into identical sizes and shapes, how interesting would it be to complete the puzzle at this point. Now with this being said the interesting part about employees and puzzles is that each piece and position has its individual function but woks together to accomplish one common goal. Christianity is frightenly similar to these examples; we have separate functions in this life but one common goal…To glorify God. We are by default designed to be productive as well as required to live holy, righteous, full of love, etc. ultimately establishing our identity as followers of Christ. I like to think of us as franchise owners; we own the individual establishment but must adhere to the guidelines given by headquarters or else our unit will not perform or produce the results intended by the creator of the enterprise. And when a few units misbehave, the entire institution receives a poor reputation making it almost impossible for expansion into needed areas. The franchises are usually known by a trademark, slogan or symbol which unifies and distinguishes them from the competition (in our case living holy, righteous and full of love is what will join and separate followers of The Most High from the enemy). My question to you is if I asked your co-workers what kind of person are you, would the words associated with holy be included in their description of you? The lesson for this week is: Take care of your God given assignment and don’t bad mouth someone because they have another responsibility that’s not like yours; we must remember that no one’s job is more important than another. When we are in position and manning our task, the rigors of completing a difficult puzzle can be assembled with ease.
