I'm going to start by ticking some of you off, but I ask that you grit your teeth (grind them if needed) and read all the way through before calling forth the Fork & Pitchfork Brigade.
I am not a respecter of titles. Don't care what you are called, how many degrees you have, how much education you claim, how many letters of the alphabet you have after your name, who you know, who you claim to know, what kind of clothes you have, what kind of car you drive, how much money you have, what kind of watch you wear, where you live, what your personal politics are.....I don't care!
I don't care what color your hair is this week. I don't care what color your skin is. I don't care if you are tall or short or portly or thin.
Why? Because all of these are EXTERNALS and are not who you truly are in God's eyes! We can easily be impressed and influenced by externals. And we can be fooled by externals as well!
Keep this in mind: "But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7
God see who we truly are and loves us anyway! Want to be truly respected? Be respectful, Be true and Be Respectable!
Think about this too: Then Peter replied, “I see very clearly that GOD SHOWS NO FAVORITISM. In every nation he accepts those who fear him and do what is right." Acts 10:34-35.
So why do we focus so much on the irrelevant externals instead of being real, honest, true, and respectful to each other?
You see, you can fool me, but I don't count. The one who does count is God and you can't fool Him because He doesn't show favoritism! He loves me just as much as He loves you!
