       If we take a moment and look at nature, at all the things we see around us, what do we see? We see a vast variety of things. We see different kinds of flowers, different kinds of plants, varying trees, and a variety of animals--all of these things--living things. We see a vast variety of human beings. The point is that we see variation. And what can we note from this observation? Well, we can note that God likes variation, he likes variety. So, what can we note about his church then, and about us as individual members of the church? We see that God wants variation in our good works. He doesn’t want us all doing the same things. He desires some of us to be evangelists, some of us to be teachers, some us to be elders, deacons… you get the point. He wants some of us to be serving the basic needs of the church, and the basic needs of others. Just as nature displays for us all kinds of life, with different purposes.
