I am blessed to work with an amazing group of people at the Confluence Health Walk-in Clinic in Wenatchee, WA. I don’t always love my job, but I love the people I work with!
Although we come from a diversity of backgrounds, each day we come together as a unit, providing compassionate, quality care for our patients.
Each of us has a role to play and each person is essential to the team. The doctors, PA’s, and NP’s may be in charge (or at least the nurses let us think we are), but we’d be lost without the others.
The receptionists do the check in and keep the patients coming, while the MA’s room them and take their vitals. Meanwhile, the ward clerks provide a calm in the midst of the storm and the nurses keep things moving smoothly.
Our manager, who keep us all on the straight and narrow, is always quick with an encouraging word, when things get a little tense.
Each one of us has a part to play, unique talents we bring to our job, which make the Walk-in Clinic work and assure a high-quality of care. Every person there is essential to our overall success.
This is what God intends for His church. 2 Corinthians 12:12 & 14 says, “Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ…Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.”
Some in the church may not feel they are important, because they are not a pastor or an elder, but each one of us is essential. We each have been given unique gifts the church needs to complete its mission of sharing God’s love with the world. You may not think your talent is anything special, but “in fact God has placed the parts, in the body, just as he wanted them to be.” (v. 18).
This weekend, as you worship with fellow believers, take a look around and thank God for each person and the part they play in His plan. Then ask Him to show you where you fit in, because, I guarantee, you do!
God has a very special job, just for you. You’re part of His Plan. So, let’s get going and finish the work – together every step of the way!
