This was in my Bible Study on the patriarchs that I'm doing right now, it's so great , so I wanted to share it.

"God reserves the sovereign right  to direct one of  His children on a path He may have forbidden to another. God's overarching laws and principles do not change, but His directions within them can vary drastically. That's one reason we must be careful not to force our personal convictions in gray areas on another believer. God may require something of you He does not require of me and vice versa."
It sounds simple enough, but it's so tempting to take what God has told us, personally, and speak it as absolute truth for everyone. Another reason we need to be individually in tune with Him.
