28 Feb The Body of Christ – In Thailand and Cambodia
The journey to Thailand and Cambodia from which I just returned left me more physically exhausted yet spiritually renewed than any other trip I have taken. This morning when I awoke after the first full nights sleep in fourteen days, the reason for spiritual renewal was clear, I had been surrounded by the body of Christ.
God woke me this morning with this scripture and song, along with fresh memories of touching others and being touched by the body of Christ at its most powerful, ministering to a world that is broken and lost. This world is so hungry for the loving touch of Christ who came to heal and forgive. These images are reminders to me me of divine encounters that allowed me to both give and receive life, to heal, and be healed, and I am grateful.
All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it.

Song – We are one Body
We are one body, one body in Christ;

We are one body, one body in Christ;
and he came that we might have life.
