How does it feel when someone looks at you like you're not wanted? How do you like that dirty look or those harsh words you find out were said about you behind your back? How do you think of that person? What tears of rejection do you cry? What pain do you feel? How do you look at your life? Do you read Bible Devotional? How hard is it to trust someone after that? How bad to feel when people treat you nice and then you learn of their cruelty? Now the biggest question of all... The one that will so break your heart, twist it, play with it and crush it all at once. The question that will tear you in two and float around in your mind like nothing else matters. The one thing that will prove you have no mercy or shame. How many people do you do that to everyday? See, people can be hypocrites and not even know it. Being a backstabber, being someone who downs other people for their own pleasure, even someone who thinks that certain people are better than themselves so that's an excuse to look at them like ugh. Yeah, everyone does it, but what do other people do about it? Well, you know what? I'm sick and tired of it. I'm not perfect, I do it too. Without realizing it, I break people's hearts and make them feel like they can't even be the ground I walk on. But what really bugs me is when other people do it. OK, now, I'm going to have a little bit of fun cause now I'm going to mix in a little bit of Biblical Scripture and that's when the real heart ache starts. Isaiah 40:25 simply says "To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal? says the Holy One." OK, Lets try it like this- James 4:12 "There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you-who are you to judge your neighbor?"
Hmm interesting. Let me break it down for ya. When you judge someone, doesn't matter who it is, what they did or what they are like, you're basically trying to be an equal with God. See, its kind of funny how we take one little thing and BOOM! we're sitting with God - How 'bout NO! Its not like that at all. If you're trying to sit there with God, if you're trying to be a judge like God and you're trying to get to him because of what you think you know.
Ha, that's a laugh. When you are perfect and have no flaws then, you may be considered an equal with God but until then sit your rear back down in that church pew and LEARN SOMETHING! I know you got people to teach you so CLEAN OUT YOUR EARS AND LISTEN! OK, next step, don't be some kid that finds me on the street asking "if we are supposed to be like God why can't we judge like Him?" If my facial expression looks at you like you're stupid, don't get offended, you will learn the difference between Image and Perfection. Two VERY BIG DIFFERENT THINGS!
Image is everything right? WRONG! God is everything... Jumping into a little bit of exercise at this point and time I'm going to give you guys some questions and the place to find the answers...
1) In your own words, what is Favoritism?
2) Why is so important not to show Favoritism?
3) Can you show Favoritism without even knowing it?
4) Does Favoritism make you a judge?
Look up in your Bible under James chapter 2.... the whole chapter will give you the answers to the questions above. OK, now you have to really study the questions and the answers that you come up with. Because you and God are the only two beings that knows what is inside you and your heart. Which also means that it will take you and God to make right what is wrong. Now the Q's and A's that are above kind of gives you an idea as to why Image is not everything. Perfection, its simple, God is perfect, there are no others.
But our faith is what draws us closer to God. Because we believe that God is going to take care of us in any and every situation that we've had or will ever see in our lives here on Earth. So do me a favor, Smile because God loves you and because you just learned something interesting :)
