In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul talks about how each person has their own spiritual gifts. Each person is different, and that is what makes up the body of Christ. All of the different members are needed to make the body complete. Paul calls the spiritual gifts, higher gifts.
1 Corinthians 12 verse 31 says, "But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way."
Paul is saying that if we chase after and pursue spiritual gifts, we will find a more excellent way, or a more excellent life! Every spiritual gift is different and each one is needed to complete the body.
No one has the right to say that the gifts they have are worthless, or they wish they had some other gifts. We are all created by God and have the gifts we have to complete the spiritual body.
