Sometimes our communion with God is cut off or interrupted because of a
grievance against a brother, or some lack of unity in the body of Christ.
We try to come to the Lord, but we cannot because we are separated from
some member of the Lord's body or because the freedom of His love is not
flowing through every organic part.

It does not require a blow on the head to paralyze the brain. A blow upon
some nerve may do it. A wound in some artery at the extremities may be
fatal to the heart. Therefore we must stand in right relationship with all
God's children. if we would keep our perfect communion with Christ Himself,
we must meet in the body of Christ in honest, open fellowship.

Sometimes we will find that an altered attitude to one Christian will
bring us into the flood tides of the Holy Spirit. It is impossible to have
faith without love, or to have Christ alone without the fullness of
fellowship with all His dear saints. And whether one member suffer, all the
members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice
with it (1 Corinthians 12:26).

Scripture
As we have many members in one body, . . . so we, being many, are one
body in Christ-Romans 12:4-5


I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
Psalm 18:1 (KJV)
