GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS

What God does for one, He will do for the other. God sends the rain on the just and the unjust.

"But i say unto you Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you. That ye may be be the children of your Father which is in heaven, for he maketh the sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." Matthew 5:25

Ever been unloving to someone you love? Felt hurt or unloved back? Been waiting in line at the movies or at a restaurant for someone we love, who is way late, and felt annoyance or impatience creeping in, rising up? Felt hurt when someone we love does not call or remember us? How about unappreciated by those we love?

Are these fleshy emotional responses bad in themselves, no they are not. But, they are to be used as indications that our response is not what it should be. Not loving. We need to take our heart to 1 Corinthians 13. If we feel hurt, we need to remember "love is not easily angered," " love keeps no record of wrongs." If we are impatient, we need to remember that "Love is patient." Our loving others is never dependent upon their loving us or their actions toward us. We love God and our neighbors because God loved us first. Our love flows from Him. "Love never fails, always perseveres." Loving as God loves takes work for it to flow naturally.

So, as God is no respecter of persons, so should we be. Loving our friends and loved ones as easily as we love the lost. As God loves us, so shall we love. Just love them.

"Then Peter opened his mouth and said, of a truth i perceive that God is no respecter of persons." Acts 10:34

"For there is no respect of persons with God." Romans 2:11
