One Sheet Of Paper

[Br. Bear]

Greetings,

Do you know that a ream of paper is? How about a wad of paper sheets the thickness of a phone book? Or simply for everyone, about 500 sheets of paper. (near enough!) [this is not stating a ream is 500 sheets - I am giving an example only for the purpose of what I am about to say]

Take one sheet of paper.
You can tear it, fold it, and scrumple it up with ease.

Now, take the 500 sheets. Can you tear it? Can you fold it? Can you scrumple it up?
I am sure you can not.

I see this to be like the Body of Christ. One singular member can easily be manipulated but together we stand strong and as is, for the Lord.

Why am I saying this?
Two fold (no pun intended), to remind us that we are ONE, not lots of individual sheets of paper and also that perhaps there is strength in numbers when it comes to things like staying strong?

Any thoughts?


Bless you ....><>

A very good word picture.
I will use this.

Are you referring to the Lamb's book of Life? Now that is a very thick book I imagine. Lots of names in there!

Not to mention the Bible itself. Mine has 1319 pages.
