Uniforms are not necessary

Understand this...Being a believer isn't a uniform situation.  Yes, there is a foundation from which we all believe, however, we do not all do things the same - nor do we have to. 
"4There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all..."
Don't base how you praise, give, honor, worship or live on anyone but God.  Sister so and so may very well be able to give $5000 but that doesn't mean that she is more blessed than you.  We all have gifts and talents that can be used to further the kingdom and God blesses all of us in different ways.  Yes we are blessed in every area of our lives, but how those blessings come for each one of us or each family is very diverse.
Don't ever let the devil or his demons make you feel like you are less than a blessed and highly favored child of God.  Our Father knows what He is doing and, if you give it to Him, has our lives under control.  Don't make comparisons, that causes jealousy and eventually strife.  Be happy for your brothers and sisters in Christ when they are blessed or are a blessing and understand that we are not robots in the word.  We are proactively seeking the word of God and interceding everyday.  Nothing is uniform.
