1Cor.7:17 Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.
What has the Lord distributed to each person in the body of Christ Jesus, frankly, everything in their new personality, why? Because they are a new creation in Christ Jesus as a body member, they are dead too the old self, and are living as a member of Christ body for God's glory.
Other body member can certainly see what is lacking in another body members by their own gifts, but they cannot say why Christ chose not to give the body member a certain gift or not? They can rest that Jesus Christ as the head of the body is not delinquent in distributing gifts, subsequently, leaving it too other body member too give the person a gift. More importantly each body member must remember they cannot become a fleshly part in the spiritual body of Christ Jesus, thus, living in jealousy, and discontentment legislating gifts into other body members they believe are lacking.
For example the gift of being single as Paul speak too hear, nor should body members feel superior because God has given them a gift in some area that others don't have. When we look at are own body we can see how foolish a person would be in legislating rules to make a hand act like an eye, there are vast difference between these two part, no one would feel they need to be the same, no! They would intelligently understand the body was formed while in the womb outside of any human control and each part placed for good of the whole body.
So should each body member put faith in God forming, and gifts given to the body of Christ Jesus.
