Diversity of Gifts - 1 Cor 12

Although it is hard to resist, comparing ourselves to others is usually not helpful. One area of comparison that the scriptures forbid is in the area of contribution. We are all called to contribute to God’s mission, but each of us plays a unique role. When we envy the strengths of others, we often fail to make our own contribution. It is equally wrong for us to look down on others who do not share our abilities. God has given a diversity of gifts so that we can work together for his glory.
