No favoritism

Tuesday March 25th, Acts. 10: Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right. When the spirit came Peter started to get it. The "It" he got was that God does not show favoritism any more than you show favoritism to your children. They are each different, they each have unique needs and talents and wants and foibles, and you love each and every one. Some you wish would grow up and do this, others you wish would grow up and do that, but in the end you love them and recognize they are each on a path to becoming what they are called to be. So too God loves humanity, the creation God formed, breathed Into and called Good, not part of humanity, not the ones that look like this or that or the ones who express their love for God this way or that way, but humanity, all of humanity. When we recognize that and find ourselves on the path to reconciliation we find ourselves on the path to the love of God.
