this narrow path

1 corinthians 12: 12-31

But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, ²⁵ so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. ²⁶ If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.



lately, i've been so encouraged by the freshmen class. i've never seen such a dedicated/committed group of servants before! one of the unique aspects about this group is how much accountability has been going around amongst one another. this is all purely due to the fact that they wanna help each other. they've been making bets with one another practicing self control-- "if you don't drink for a month, i won't go on facebook for a month..." or other aspects of life they need self control over. in extreme cases, forbidding one another of eating froyo is involved lol. in addition, just the idea that they're openly asking one another if they've been doing their qts lately and praying for one another has been contagious amongst this group.

they've really been fulfilling their duties as christians to live out what the gospel demands of them. clear case in point,,, if one part of the church suffers, we all suffer. together.

it's amazing to see God working like this. it makes me wanna do more as a servant and it encourages me to read and pray more as well. i really couldn't help smiling today because of it =]
