. Comparing}
Alright, I'm slacking again on blogging even though I mentioned in my previous post that I would continue to blog regularly. Forgive me alright? I read my previous posts and although many questions were dealt with and that I brought up some issues, I never really went to delve into my spiritual life or make it more personal. So I start to add some more personal devotions while keeping the formal style of typing for some posts, depending.
Anyway, a little food for though to keep this blog alive. Lately I've been thinking of the people that compare their attitudes to others and try to come out on top. I mean take myself for example, I think I'm quite a good guy. I've got my salvation and love God, I pray regularly, I fast regularly, I never murdered, I never took drugs, I give to God. Cocky enough? Well, that's pretty mild already. Imagine I killed someone and got off free later on. I could say I'm a pretty decent guy too, I mean I wasn't Hitler, I never killed millions of Jews, I wasn't racist. I wasn't Jeffrey Dahmer, I never ate my victims. So considering this, am I a better person than those people? To the rest of the world yes, but to God, I don't think so. God never holds favourites, although He may choose people for specific and grand tasks, and may give special abilities, it never amounts to favouritism. God chooses people through His grace. The Jews were chosen through His grace, we are saved by faith through His grace. It is His grace always.
So, God loves me as much as He loves Hitler. Although I may not see the fairness in it, God surely has His reasons. I mean I wouldnt doubt someone who's perfect and all knowing. Hitler was also created in His image, God knew that Hitler would eventually become, but He had a reason for allowing that. Perhaps it was the fact that it would help countries later to form even stronger ties and really go forth in the quest for world peace. Maybe it was another reason. But the fact still remains, I am equally loved by God as much as those people who are really working like crazy for the kingdom of God. Pastor Kong Hee? Benny Hinn? Ulf Ekman? Sure they work harder and are more anointed. They know more about God than me, they enter His presence more than me and garner more revelations from Him. Aside from the fact that I can achieve this through time and efforts with God's help, the amount of love never changes. Ever.
