Viva la Difference!
(French - beautiful language - sadly isn'y my strength!)
Little lesson in differences:
Jesus was very diferent from John the Baptist. Amongst the disciples, Peter's character stood out as the natural leader, very different from John for instance. There are those of us who are thinking students of God's word - this is our calling by God who we serve. Others write from the heart ("heart affair topics") and boy, do we value you!
One of the wonderful things is how God's Spirit is so diverse in operation - to the extent that the manifestation of the Spirit is unique in each individual. Imagine the pleasure of God as he observes this diversity, the delight of his Spirit working with Peter's spirit amongst the disciples; his Spirit working with each of ours to produce individual works that are diverse yet pleasing to him?
It's this diverse work that we encourage in places like this, and celebrate. And we respond to each other, different as we all are, with the same delight that the Father has in each one of us.
