Our kids, like many others, are really into Frozen. Not too long ago, while getting him ready for preschool, Blake, who is four, asked me who I like better, Anna or Elsa. I told him that I liked them both. To this, he replied, "No, you have to pick one." "Well," I said, "If I have to pick one, I'm gonna go with Anna." "Why," he asked? "Well, I said, while Elsa is pretty, if you make her angry, she can really mess you up." "I like them both," he concluded.
Favorites. We all seem to have them. We all seem to like some things better than others. You have the "beach" people, me, and you have the "mountain" people, them. You have those who like horror movies and those who like nothing but romantic comedies. You have those who like fish and those who prefer fowl. It seems that we all have favorites, and everyone expects us to pick one thing over another. However, GOD is not like that...
Today's word is Romans 2:11, KJV, which reads, "For their is no respect of persons with GOD."
GOD has no favorites. He loves all His children the same. Yes, some people have more than others. Some people seem to have it better than others. But, neither of those things are any indication of GOD'S love for each of us. Sometimes, live events and our own poor choices put us where we are. Sometimes, we struggle, not because GOD has caused it, but because we made a bad choice and that is the consequence of that choice.
While we have favorites, GOD does not. He loves each of us exactly the same, with the same desire, same want, same care. We can rest assured that GOD loves us exactly as much as He loves anyone else, even Elsa and Anna. And, to be completely honest, I like them both equally too but don't tell Blake.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
