Paul’s famous words about love come not in the context of a wedding celebration but in the context of a church family who did not appreciate their God-given differences.

26:01

Feeling “less than” is one of the devil’s best tricks. We notice what we’re not, what we can’t do, what’s uncomfortable, what’s out of our skill set. But Paul saves us from envy and discouragement by reminding us all that God didn’t design every part of the body to do everything. By his design you can’t do this or that. Let go of the guilt.

Scripture and experience teach us that people are different. Like different parts of the body, God intentionally decided to make each of us different from everyone else.
