You are no better than someone else
god accepts each and everyone of us…
'Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right. ' Acts 10:34-35
children are far more accepting of other kids, even when they don’t know each other. ever been to a party or park for get together as family & friends and watch kids play? for the outsider it is scary because you are not sure how they will accept you. when you have raised your kids right and ask them to be nice by inviting that child to play, you generally tend to see the fear subside when one or more starts talking with them, grabs their hand and pulls them in, or simply hangs out with them until they feel comfortable enough to jump in on their own.
this same lesson is how God treats us. outside of His Son Jesus, he does not love me more than you, does not feel bubba is more special than billy bob. He treats us all the same, and each and everyone of us can come to Him, with the right heart and attitude. definitely know i can work on this part of my life when i’m around others.
similarly to making a rash judgment call on someone i just met, need to give that person a little more time to find out about them instead of writing them off immediately. learn who they are, what they like, what they believe, etc. are they a believer, life centered on our Lord and Savior, have a heart to serve, loves on others, and more. try to be fair and understanding before dismissing anyone.
Father God, i really need help in this area as i still make quick assumptions and decisions of others from time-to-time before getting to know who they truly are. show me how to love on those you place in my life. in Jesus’ name i pray, amen!
