As the Spirit wills, He gives.

1 Corinthians 12:11 reads, "All these (people) are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills." 

This verse is part of a larger discussion about spiritual gifts within the body of Christ. Paul is emphasizing that the diversity of spiritual gifts within the church is not a result of human choice or merit, but is instead determined by the will of the Spirit.

This verse is important because it reminds us that we do not have control over the gifts that we have been given, but we have the responsibility to use them to serve others. It also reminds us that no one gift is more important than the other, and that all are necessary for the functioning of the body of Christ. It also helps us to understand that we have no right to be jealous of other people's gifts, and we have to acknowledge that all gifts are from the same Spirit and therefore they are all equal in importance.

Furthermore, this verse reminds us that the Spirit is sovereign in the distribution of spiritual gifts. The Spirit gives gifts as He wills and not based on our own desires or merit. This is a humbling reminder that ultimately, spiritual gifts are not about us, but about the work of the Spirit in the Church. It also encourages us to be open to the work of the Spirit in our lives, knowing that He will give us the gifts we need to serve others and build up the body of Christ.

This is a powerful reminder that spiritual gifts are not about human merit or choice, but about the will of the Spirit. It reminds us that all gifts are necessary for the functioning of the body of Christ, and encourages us to use our gifts to serve others and be open to the work of the Spirit in our lives.

1 Peter 4:10 states, "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace." 

Peter is encouraging believers to use their spiritual gifts to serve others and to be good stewards of the grace that God has given them.The verse highlights the importance of using our spiritual gifts to serve others. It reminds us that the gifts we have been given are not for our own benefit, but for the benefit of the community. It also emphasizes the idea of being a "good steward" of the grace that God has given us. A steward is someone who manages resources on behalf of another, and this verse reminds us that the spiritual gifts we have been given are not our own, but belong to God, and we are responsible for managing and using them for His purposes.

We are reminded of the idea of being a part of the body of Christ and how each part of the body has a specific function. It also implies that each member of the body of Christ has different gifts, and that each of us has a unique role to play in the community. It encourages us to recognize the gifts in others and to work together to build up the body of Christ.

We therefore ought to pray to God to give us the best gifts that we desire and those that he has seen as critical for the kingdom.
