Two topics…both pierced my
heart. I choose to sit under the topic of favoritism this
morning.
Ouch, how often favoritism
grabs me. Appearance, educations, career, profession, height, weight, accent,
grammar… it is frightening how many ways I use to choose who I am drawn to and
who not.
How many times have I heard
within the church walls, if we can reach ‘these’ people, it will be good for
finances? And the ‘these people’ are generally higher up the economic ladder
and/or they look like us. It is frightening to me how easily we fall into
favoritism. How easily I
fall into favoritism!
Lord, I sit
here convicted. Convicted by James’ simple yet powerful words. Oh, my how much I
need a Savior!
Come, Lord
Jesus, heal my broken and sin-filled heart.
Amen.
