Favoritism

Ok, I started something on facebook tonight. Why do we leave others out and show favoritism to some? Why? This is what I posted:

The Bible speaks against favoritism, and yet we see it among Christians all the time. Why??? James 2:8 & 9.."Yes indeed, it is good when you obey the royal law as found in the Scriptures: Love your neighbor as yourself." (9) But if you favor some people over others, you are committing a sin. You are guilty of breaking the law."

Someone said they were referring to the rich and poor. This is how I see it. We are all made in HIS image so we are all equal. And HE says over and over "Love Your Neighbor." Is it love when we treat our friends better than others? Is it love when you leave people out? I don't think so.

Just remember where Jesus went when He was here. He didn't hang out with the rich or the popular. He was at the well. So yeah, I have torn up my application to the "country club" and I have decided....when Jesus comes back I don't want to be at the country club, I want to be at the "well". Yeah...cuz that is is where I think HE will go first.

Ok..so that is it for the night. Thank you Father for speaking to my heart. Amen
