I appreciated the column in World Magazine by Andrée Seu Peterson called Apportioned as He wills. Some notable snippets:

God’s big idea is that our very limitations (I will never play first violin for the London Philharmonic Orchestra or point guard for the Celtics) are designed to draw us to Him if we let them. They are the built-in humility fosterers we need. For a man will seek after God when he feels his lowliness and not when he feels his superiority.

The drive to be a “this” when God made you a “that” is only envy, envy being the fetid wellspring of every kind of evil social system down through history.

God’s way is not to insist on being what one is not, but to be the best version of what one is.

In our saner moments, we would want things just the way God arranged them—the most gifted athletes to be athletes, the most gifted surgeons to be surgeons, the wisest leaders to be our policymakers. You don’t want the guy who graduated 159th in a class of 160 to operate on your brain.
