Type the word pizza into your favorite internet search engine. The numbers of pizza eaten in a single day and sold in a year are staggering! There is such variety. Toppings range from the standard cheese to meats, vegetables and fruits. My husband is a vegetarian; his favorites are extra cheese, onions, green and red sweet peppers. I am a meat eater; when buying an individual size pizza, I want several additional toppings.

God gifts each of His children with a variety of spiritual gifts.

“Now there are distinctive varieties and distributions of endowments (gifts, extraordinary powers distinguishing certain Christians, due to the power of divine grace operating in their souls by the Holy Spirit) and they vary, but the [Holy] Spirit remains the same. And there are distinctive varieties of service and ministration, but it is the same Lord [Who is served]. And there are distinctive varieties of operation [of working to accomplish things], but it is the same God Who inspires and energizes them all in all. But to each one is given the manifestation of the [Holy] Spirit [the evidence, the spiritual illumination of the Spirit] for good and profit (1 Corinthians 12:4-7 Amplified Bible).”
