“Aware of Our Co-laborers”

1 Corinthians 12: 18: “But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired.” As St. Paul said in v. 1, he doesn’t want us to be unaware of spiritual gifts—ours, or those of our brothers and sisters. It is through awareness of each other’s strengths, weaknesses, and callings that we work more effectively as a body. One heads-up, however; this kind of awareness comes only through actual interaction.
