Well let me park here and walk down your street. What I am saying is that if you are not a handy man and there is a household project, like a plumbing leak or anything mechanical, you would call the right person for the job. God has not given you any "natural" gifts for such things. And you would prefer not to buy anything that requires assembly!
I have a friend who can fix or assemble anything. It comes naturally to him, and he loves to help me. This same person looks at some of my abilities to help him with understanding the Bible. We appreciate the gifts God has given to each of us. These differences have created a need for one another. God wants each of us to need one another. 1 Corinthians 12:4 says "There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit."
The Scriptures describes the Body of Christ in the same way. Each person is a member of His Body with gifts and talents designed to make His Body perform as a multi-talented group, all playing to the same tune. It is when one member is "out of tune", decides he doesn't like his gifts, or decides to do something he is not designed to do, that orchestra begins to sound off key. Imagine if the parts of the human body decided they didn't want to fulfill their purpose any longer. That body would no longer function effectively because one or more of its members was not operating as it was designed.
So my questions to you this morning family are: What has He equipped you for? What role has He called you to play in God's Kingdom? When one link in the chain is weakened, the whole chain is susceptible to breaking. God made it that way so that we could help that weak link. He made it that way so we would be forced to depend on one another. Are you a strong link in the chain of God's Kingdom? Ask Him if you are fulfilling your role as He designed, and if not, allow Him to order your steps. God Bless You and Have A Great Godly Day in the Lord.
