E Pluribus Unum

The Holy Spirit flashed-burned some insight into my brain this morning while I was huddling between asleep and awake, wishing away the inevitable 8:30. I was stewing, semi-conscious, over my inability to help someone in the body of Christ who needs help desperately, and whom, as far as I can tell, Jesus has given us power and authority and resources to help. Only I can't seem to do it. Lots of reasons why, probably, but the one He lit up like 1871 Chicago in my mind was this:
e pluribus unum
Out of Many, One. It's all over our money, but He wasn't applying it to currency. "Think about what you're saying," He said.
I was saying, "I can't do this! We need a healer to come alongside! Someone who is gifted this way, someone who knows what to pray, whom to address."
I can't do it.
In that moment of grog before complete faculty awoke, He reminded me that I'm not supposed to be able to do everything in the Body. Only He could do that. I'm a part of the whole. One puzzle piece that makes up His face, His heart, His hands. I need everyone else. I need everyone else! I shouldn't be trying to compensate: I should be humbly going to the hand to ask them to wield their weapon in the battle too. I can't be Him alone. He didn't design it that way.
All in all I think e pluribus unum makes a better motto for the global Church than the United States of America. Of course we Many take our being from His One, so perhaps the best motto would be "e unum pluribus, e pluribus unum."
A spiritual palindrome.
