Have You Ever Been Tempted To Play Favorites?

God does not treat some people better than others and He is totally fair to everyone. He is very compassionate toward anyone who is hurting and works to bring justice into their lives.

Jesus said that we are all one in Him. Galatians 3:28

Have you ever been tempted to play favorites? Most of us have done this, but we need to grow out of it! We need to be friendly and kind to everyone.

The apostle James said that we are not even to attempt to practice the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ together with snobbery. James 2:1-4 In other words, we are to treat all people as worthy of respect.

I am very sad to say that playing favorites goes on in churches as well. My family and I have experienced this in some of our past churches. Some people of the church would only reach out and pray for the ones in their little social group. This was disappointing to me and my family and I am sure very disappointing to God!

Love all!...Not just the people with swanky labels on their clothes, with fancy hairstyles, with cool cars. Don't just show love to people because of what they can do for you. Show God's love to EVERYONE!

For God shows no partiality [undue favor or unfairness; with Him one man is not different from another]. -Romans 2:11

Treat everyone you meet as if they had infinite value because in God's eyes, they do!

For His Glory,
Dalinda
