Favourites

Be fair with everyone, and don't have any favorites.

--- The Bible

In 1 Timothy chapter 5, Paul urges Timothy to be fair to everyone. This may seem like a task that's simple enough. However, in our day to day lives, we segregate and build prejudices towards certain people, sometimes, towards certain sects of people.

Like the study gang at school/college... A particular group of people at work. Certain people at church. Tonnes of examples abound. But we need to be fair to everyone, and not have any favourites. The only way I see that we can do this, is to fully rely on God. Fully fully fully. There's no other way that we can do this. Self-analysis in such situations helps a lot. I suggest that we take a few moments every week to check if we're partial towards certain people. If so, let's commit it to the Lord. He's been on earth. He knows what it's like. He can help us with it.

Amen, to that.
