We are the Church

For the longest time I asked myself what the Church could do for me. I would go on Sunday's and go and complain because it did not meet my needs. Someone didn't come up to me, or I wished they did this or that. I was hurt by the Church and thought that things needed to change, but I never did anything to change them because that is what the "Church" needed to do.
In the book the Christian atheist by Craig he quotes Erwin McManus " The church does not exist for us. We are the church, and we exist for the world."
The Church needs every single one of us Jesus said " First love God, Second, love other people as much as you love yourself. if you can do just these two things, that will fulfill every other law." Matthew 22:36-40.
This is what the Church allows us to do. We all serve a vital role in the church just like different body parts and organs complete the body.God created each one of us different to complete the body of Christ. When we start being the Church instead of just going every need in the Church can be met by the church.
It is also a place to belong. God never intended for us to be alone " So in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others" Romans 12:5. We need others and others need us. Its a place to be held accountable, to encourage, and to grow. God is calling all of us to be a part of his church, to be his church. If we don't think we are good enough, then we are exactly who he's looking for. All he wants is a willingness to serve.
