Read: 1 Corinthians 12:12-31

Do you know how many different flavors of sauce Chick-fil-A has?  They have eight according to their website but that doesn’t even include ketchup and mustard.  Can you name all eight?  My personal favorites are the original Chick-fil-A sauce and the Polynesian sauce. Why do they need so many options?  Because people are different and have different preferences for their sauce.  We know that people are different and have different personalities and giftings but Paul says that God planned it that way.  He says that we each are a part of the body of Christ and each one of us is needed (1 Cor. 12:27).

Author and blogger Amy Weatherly recently wrote about this when encouraging people to be who God has called them to be and not worry about what others might expect us to be.  She wrote, “You can’t be everyone’s Chick-fil-A sauce. That’s not your job. Your job is to run the race that’s been set out before you. Run it hard. Run it long. Run it well. Run it in your very own style.  Run with arms wide open toward faith and hope. Give grace. Chase after gratitude. Bring joy with you everywhere you go. Do what God’s asked you to do and keep your eyes on him.”
