Variety of Styles—One Body

For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

I CORINTHIANS 12:13

Frequently changing styles makes it challenging to stay on the front end of every new trend. Depending on who you talk to, more than fifteen different style categories exist in design with many subcategories under them. Many of our favorite designers and professionals are known for a certain style. We each gravitate to certain styles naturally.

Isn’t that just like the body of Christ? We all have different tastes, likes and dislikes, and God uses all in different ways. We are each equipped with what we need for the purpose he has called us to accomplish. Our uniqueness and individuality allow us to be used by Him in different ways to reach different people with our unique giftedness while maintaining singleness of purpose—bringing glory to God.

design tip

Décor and design shouldn’t be stagnant or impersonal. Rather, it should flow with personality, evolve with your tastes, and be a representation of pieces that make your heart sing. Fill a house with décor and it remains just a house. Fill a house with pieces tied to memories and it becomes a home.

Help me to see the world as you see it, Lord, and cause me to act with justice and mercy in light of that view.
