Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?James 2:5 KJV
Every person deserves respect no matter what their station in life, personality, appearance, deformities, economic or social status. Kind of reminds me of what the menial job in football season that of the water boy but his job is vitality important to insure the team is hydrated.
If you struggle in this area it could have been modeled in your past but that is no excuse. If you claim to be a child of God you must try to emulate Christ and that means treating all people fairly. Now go and think of all the people that may not have fame or social status but God loves them just the same and so should you.
PRAYER: Forgive me Lord when I prejudge someone or look down on them. I don’t want to do that. Help my behavior be like yours so that others can see you in me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
