Bible verse of the day...Romans 12:3-5 (NIV)

For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. Romans 12:3-5 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

As God's children we should not think that we are more better than others. Some of us maybe affluent or more intelligent or talented, etc. We should not think higher than those who may have different blessings or gifts given by God. But instead, we should be humble with what we have. I think we are created equal and we have our unique qualities. Each of us were born for a purpose and have a mission to fulfill. What we contribute or share with others is part of God's plan. Whatever we do or decide would affect others. Small things make a lot of difference in the world we live in. Further, this verse makes me think of a puzzle. Without one piece of the puzzle we won't be able to get the entire picture or see the whole concept. Therefore, we should encourage each other to do what we were designed to do because we all belong to God's master plan.
