We're the body of Christ! At some time or other, we' re all going to be one of those ligaments, called into action to hold things together and help them move in the right direction. When the body of Christ is challenged by painful circumstances, we work together to increase the health and strength of the body and move it forward even if it requires us to be "stretched" in a way that is uncomfortable! Why? Because of love. First of all, because of God's love for us and second because of our love for one another.
