When we love someone we don't try to shape them into being like us. We appreciate them for who they are, even feeling blessed that they bring other ideas to the relationship that didn't come to our mind.
Every human being has strengths we don't know about unless we care enough to get to know them. No one's calling is lesser than another one's calling. All the callings come from Jesus Christ, He is the special one.
Personalities are very diverse, they can enhance our life experience when we stop judging what is not sin.
It's alright to judge according to God's Word concerning sin and upholding righteousness, but there is no place for judging someone over their hair, clothing or work styles. There is no place for judging someone's taste in home decorating or talents.
Those who judge these things are arrogant and lacking in good sense.
1 Corinthians 12:15-26
"15 If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any less a part of the body.
16 And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any less a part of the body.
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?
18 But now God has arranged the parts, each one of them in the body, just as He desired.
19 If they were all one part, where would the body be?
20 But now there are many parts, but one body.
21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again, the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
22 On the contrary, it is much truer that the parts of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;
23 and those parts of the body which we consider less honorable, on these we bestow the greater honor, and our less presentable parts become much more presentable,
24 whereas our more presentable parts have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked,
25 so that there may be no division in the body, but that the parts may have the same care for one another.
26 And if one part of the body suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if a part is [g]honored, all the parts rejoice with it."
See that, no part of the body is better than any other part. Every part of the body is equal no matter what their calling because they are all being directed by Jesus Christ in them. It is Jesus Christ Who is above and special, not the human being He possesses.
Hallalujah!
