Sometimes we can get to thinking that God will bless so and so but not me; why should he be concerned about me when we think others are so much more holy. Well, remember that you are his child and that he has no favorites, he doesn’t view anyone better than another; in other words, he sees us and loves us all the same (John 1:12; Rom 2:11).

“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit” (1 Cor 12:12-13; KJV). In the body of Christ, the church, there are many people, with different origins and with different giftings and abilities, but God views us and loves us all the same.

He wants all to be saved and none to be lost (1 Tim 2:4) and he teaches us not to treat one person better than another (James 2:1-4). We should hold our heads up and never compare ourselves to others; when we do that, we compare our weaknesses to others strengths.

God sees each one of us as his work of art, his poem: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works” (Eph 2:10).  God loves us all just the way we are; O, how he loves us.
