Romans 12:6-8

Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

Praise God for the time and desire and ability to memorize this morning! I love this passage. It clearly displays that our differences are God-given and necessary for the body of Christ to function properly. Just as my body cannot be all eyes, but needs each member to perform its own function, the body of Christ cannot be all teachers or all contributors; there must necessarily be servers and exhorters and merciful ones. How beautiful is God's plan!
