YOU ARE A PIECE IN GOD'S PUZZLE
Ephesians 4:1–6 (NIV)
Rusela "Pinky" Alinas
Just like a puzzle is incomplete when even one piece is missing, the Church is not whole without you. God, in His wisdom, has placed each of us in His family with a unique shape, gift, and purpose that fits perfectly into His plan.
But how can such a diverse body, with different backgrounds, personalities, and callings, walk in unity? The Apostle Paul gives us the answer in Ephesians 4:1–6 (NIV):
“As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”
Unity comes not from being the same, but from walking in love, humility, and patience with one another—recognizing that we are joined together by one Spirit under one Lord. Each piece may look different, but together we reveal the beautiful picture of Christ’s body at work in the world.
So remember: you matter, you belong, and you are essential to God’s masterpiece.
We’d love for you to join us this Sunday as we worship together, grow in God’s Word, and walk in unity as one family in Christ. There’s a place for you in God’s puzzle—and in our church!
