The body of Christ?

My heart in a few short quotes:
"Jesus said "im the truth". Truth is not a teaching, truth is a person, and if you have that person you have that truth, and in that person there is always unity" Jan Pasterkamp

"God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy. We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness." Rick Warren

"Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired." Mother Teresa

"God is love"
Sometimes I wish the Church would learn what it truly meant to be "the body of Christ" and how God has created us to be INTERDEPENDENT with one another, we as christians are ALL called to be the body of Christ.
Think of the quote "your only as strong as your weakest link" it's so true for christian, we can't function the way God intended for us to if we don't work together.

If you ask people what they thought of christians you'd hear people call us; hypocrites, intolorant, judgemental, and power hungry....
If God is LOVE, then how come we are not ususally known for our love, our hearts for serving and having unity within the body of Christ.

Anyways, this is what has been on my heart lately; to see the body of Christ rise up and become Christ like.
