I love this quote! It makes me think of the body of the church. Not all of us are talented singers, eloquent expositors, apt teachers, powerful preachers, unashamed and bold witnesses, generous givers, wise counselors, faithful rebukers or encouragers, etc., but God has poured out spiritual gifts upon each of his children, and we all play an important role. Many of these things should be striven for by all Christians, but some are unique God-given talents for which we all should be grateful for our own, and not jealous of others', nor condescending of them. I pray that I will be faithful to use the ones given me for the glory of God above all else.
Thanks for posting this. I needed a reminder to apply myself more fully in the appropriate areas.
