Christ's
Little Toe
Sometime between the year 1989 and 1990, I heard a television Evangelist
make the following comment, "even if you are the underside of the little toe
on Christ's foot, you are important to Jesus Christ". For me, this
comment seemed to imply that the little toe was less in the Kingdom of God
than other members. I conversed with Jesus about this.
He asked me, "If I stubbed My little toe, what would happen to the rest of
My Body?" I said "you would limp". Jesus then said,
"yes, I would limp. My whole Body would be out of
Balance.
My little toe provides balance in My Body." His answer satisfied me,
and I did not spend any more time thinking about my question.
At the end of 1990 we went on a tour of Israel for two weeks. About
three days before we left Israel to return to the United States, our tour
bus stopped for lunch at a charming little restaurant. I was seated
next to a woman I had not had the opportunity to speak with before.
As we talked about many things, including God, she looked me directly in the
eyes and said, "many people want to be, and believe they are the HEART or
MOUTH of Jesus Christ, but He has told me I am His little toe". She
was so anxious to share with me what Jesus had revealed to her; and was so
proud of her position in His Body. She was honored to be His
little toe!
I was both surprised and
pleased that God had brought me half way around the world to meet His little
toe. I was given a great gift. I was the one chosen, by God, to
tell her how very important she was to Him and His Body. I repeated
Jesus' thoughts to her, "you are the
BALANCE
in Jesus Christ's Body".
Each and every member in His Body is so precious to Him. In fact, His
love for us is beyond our understanding and comprehension at this time! |
