Compassion for the Underdog

 

Compassion for the Underdog

Romans 12:16-18 “Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. Repay no one for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.”

We are fortunate that God did not make us alike. We encounter people from all walks of life. There are gifted people who excel above others yet cannot grasp the simple things. There are average people who struggle with good and bad choices. There are mentally challenged people who have a heart of gold and a sweet disposition but tend to be bullied by others.  Then there are autistic people who have trouble with changes. The one thing we have in common is we were all created by God and we are extremely loved by God. He made us all different, but He loves us each the same.

God does not judge us for our looks, our nationalities, our deformities or our mental status. Neither should we.  We were all created equally, thereby not making one person better than the other. Even people who serve in a higher station than we, are no more or less human than we. Even the homeless are no more or less human than we. Instead of looking at appearances or job titles, we should be looking at others as God looks at them. He sees the heart and knows us as His masterpiece.

Let us love one another and show kindness to each other. “Judge not lest you be judged. Matthew 7:1
