The church is where many people go to exercise their faith and worship God with other believers of a like mind. Church members seem to be so happy and joyous when in the company of other believers, strength and encouragement is experienced by many, simple being in the same place of those with a victorious testimony is enough to carry you through your next difficult time. What I have found and learned over the years is many of Gods people are hurting, hungry for answers and have many questions about their faith, their place of worship, relationships and thats just to name a few.

“If every Christian were just like me, what kind of Church would this be?” Remember that mantra from Sunday school or sometimes during the morning service? Often times we feel comfortable around people that think like us or even have the same thoughts, likes and dislikes we have.
Familiar surroundings allow us to relax in the atmosphere we find ourselves in and we can share thoughts, insights and feelings with those around us (sounds a lot like fellowship). Being surrounded by like people with like passions or beliefs sounds like the type of place I would want to worship corporately, but adopting the thought presented earlier; “If every Christian were just like me, what kind of Church would this be?” would cause me to answer with the following words, “Sometimes encouraged, sometimes discouraged, sometimes happy, many times sad, sometimes up and sometimes down” I guess messed up would sum it all up!” Before you think, “wow, this writer is really hard on himself”, let me elaborate.
We all have problems, issues, setbacks, trial and shortcomings, if ever saint were just like me, whom could I turn to for strength and encouragement? If every saint were just like me, there would be no diversity in the church, or in the ministry, there would be one gift in the body.
I thank God for the diversity among the saints; some have overcome obstacles and am strengthened while others have yet to overcome. The strong are to bear the infirmity of the weak, when I can’t pray for myself, it is true the spirit of God makes intercession for us with groaning that cannot be uttered, but oh how encouraging when a brother or sister in Christ says to you, you’ve been on my mind and I’m praying for you”. If I was strong and every saint was just like me, seldom would I need to look to God or my brother in Christ because I’m all right (all by myself). I am glad that everyone is not like me, there is always someone stronger that me, that I can got and learn something from.
Be who you are in Christ and let God mold you into the person that He desires you to be; someone else is waiting on that Gift that God had placed in you, so they may be strengthened and encouraged.
