============
Please bring some canned food to give to the poor. I looked in our cabinets and noticed all of
the name brand items and a few “generic” labels we had not eaten. I packed the
generic labeled cans and sent the people on their way. I mean we weren’t going
to eat it anyway. Why let it go to waste? Meanwhile I hosted a dinner party
with the finest food you could eat.
Soon after, it was time to drop off items to charity. I found stuff we didn’t want and dropped these
misfit items off. I mean maybe someone else can use these unwanted items.
Meanwhile I bought fancy gifts for others.
- Treating people differently is so convenient.
- Treating people with different standards is so easy.
- Treating people with varying measures ignites my prejudice.
When I treat someone different because of their status I
fail miserably. I cheat them out of a full blessing GOD may have wanted them to
have. That kind of behavior can creep into other areas of my life. I can cut
corners when serving one group versus another. In business I could lean favor
to the rich and lean heavily on the poor. What does GOD want?
- GOD desires that I treat everyone equally serving wealthy and poor.
- GOD wants me to treat everyone with the same respect so I won’t fear one over the other.
- GOD wishes that I treat others with the same love that I wish others would treat me.
Whether it’s business, charity or just plain old service,
GOD wants me to be the same to everyone, treating them with respect, kindness
and love.
- Do you talk about people?
- Are “they” doing “it” wrong?
- Have you examined yourself to see if you are treating one group different than another?
- Won’t you start treating people the same no matter how painful it may be?
