God made the witty to make life fun.
God made the serious to bring us back to the seriousness of
reality.
God made the emotional because they pour their emotions into
the arts and teach us empathy and caring.
God made the “laid back” because they calm us down.
God made the booksmart because we need knowledge to
progress.
God made the not-so-booksmart because they often
develop common sense and many other abilities not learned from a book.
God made the energetic people because they get things done.
God made the less energetic people because they take the
time to think things through and they calm the rest of us down a notch.
God made decisive people because they make good business
people.
God made those less decisive because they consider all
alternatives and consequences.
God made the bold because they are willing to say things
that need to be said.
God made the less bold to keep people from getting their
feelings hurt.
God made the brave to protect us.
God made the less brave because they are considerate of the well-being
of others and their own bodies.
God made the rich to provide jobs, to help the poor, to
support the church, and to test their generosity and fairness.
God didn’t make the poor that way, but they are special to
Him because they rely on Him only, because they have learned what is really
important in life, they find happiness in relationships and not things, and
they often rise from adversity to do great things.
God made the first man and woman perfect, but we have
contaminated our world and therefore we have the handicapped. God can work with
the handicapped as well as he can the “perfect.” Just look at Beethoven, Helen
Keller, and the Apostle Paul. Their lives weren't based on the material things of the world or on sinful behavior.
We deal with many different personalities on a daily basis. Often we expect them to think and act like us but that usually isn't going to happen. We are not all wired the same. Conflicts may arise but we would be wise to keep in mind that God made us all unique, each differing from the other in many ways. Yet we are all equal in God's eyes. He loves us all the same and we should do likewise.
