No Hierarchy in Diversity
We would all find more serenity in life if we could ... be done with comparisons and envy. God made us diverse, and, in God's eyes at least, our diversity lacks hierarchy. As a friend says in her song "Weave," God makes of us a symphony: different instruments playing in harmony. Each part matters, but only if it's played according to its calling and isn't fighting another part for control. We in the church make better music when we treasure our diversity, rather than stifle it.
