How are we different? We are different in many ways. Our gender, race, age, stage in our life, with children/ without children, career choice, beliefs, hobbies and many other areas that make us different. However, regardless of these areas that society may use to separate us, we are all the same in God’s eyes.
We are God’s Children
We are ALL God’s children regardless of any difference. Regardless if we are living as God’s word tells us, we should. Reminder: I know you have heard it before but it is definitely true, No person is perfect. We all make mistakes. We all fall short of being the person that we believe that we should be.
That person that causes you to shake your head or laugh at them, because they messed up, they know they aren’t perfect. They don’t need us pointing it out to them or to anyone else.
Be different- Help them – Don’t add to their hurt.
What do they need? They need an encouraging word. Confirmation that we all make mistakes and plenty of them. A smile that shows they are worth it. Your attention to listen to them. It always helps to share our thoughts and shame with someone else. Someone who will not use it against them. They are worth your time, your smile, your understanding!
Seal it with a ..
Then seal it with a prayer! Bring God into it! Pray with them or if don’t want to pray, pray by yourself, right afterwards.
Let us pray…
Heavenly God, We don’t always know what to say or what to do, but you know. So we ask today for your to use our eyes, our ears, our hands, our feet, our arms, our legs and well, all of us to help the person that you bring into our path. Please use us to be different. We are yours. Amen
