In the bible,we've read about the parables of Jesus.Lost son, lost sheep are well known and lost coin is one of the parables too. Here, I would like to present the coins in a church but they are not lost. They still in the church.
In a church, people come from different background - poor, rich, educated or uneducated. Some lives are struggle and some are easygoing. We may see different attitudes - strong mind, well disciplined, happy , dismayed and etc--. We also can see different personalities- calm, charm, patience, short temper, firm and unreliable . How can we walk with these diverse person for God' plan ?
All coins have its own value such as 1 cent, 25 cent, 1 dollar (C$), 2dollar(C$).
Likewise, people value are differences. If my value is 1 cent,I will be happy. If there has 99999.99 in the church , my value 1cent will make 100,000 value for the church.
No matter values are diverse in coins e.g, 1cent, 10 cent or 25cent, every coin has same unique feature. That same unique feature is " each coin has two face- side."
You consider yourself as one side of coin and put other side people of your church who are in different personality and diverse situation. Yours ( you and another person) value may be 1 cent or 25 cent. It does not matter of price. Every coin has its own value. If you divide one coin into two, that coin has no value. You can not buy anything with only one side of the coin. Any shop will not accept it. That coin lost its own value. A coin has two sides no matter its value e.g 1 cent , every shop will accept that coin. Why do not we make ourselves as a valued coin (with two face- side ) with people in our church ? If you can not work face to face with each other in a church , turn your back but stay to be a valued coin for God. Then work and walk as a coin with two sides.
