"There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit." - 1 Cor. 12:4
Paul is addressing a problem that still lingers in the Church. The problem is that we compare gifts that were given from the Lord, and we sometimes become jealous. Well, I know I have, sadly. I've seen people's gifts and I begin to wish I had them.
I fail to realize that we were all given these gifts for a reason. Pastor Mike once told me that we all have different gifts for different roles in God's kingdom. It's true, I don't have a gift for evangelizing, but that does not mean I don't play a role. And these gifts come from the same source: God.
Application: I will be content with my gift by using it to bless others around me.
