“See that you do not look down on one of these little ones; for I say to you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 18:10).
Every human is an image bearer. Do not look down upon anyone. In the eyes of the Lord, they are equal and are those whom He has made and loves. We are each unique and have the gifts the Lord gives us, but we are equally beloved. Do not think that one is better than another, for the Lord has purpose for each of our lives. Children may like or dislike certain others, but they are often very receptive to others and make friends easily.
Lord, I do judge others, and I have been caught up in the “I am better than you” attitude that many have. When I meet someone that I think superior, I think “I’m as good as you.” Help me to move away from this wickedness and to the place where I see that each person is who they are and that You love us all equally. Guide me out of the ways of the world and into the way of eternity.
Lord Jesus, You have told us plainly things that are right and true. You have given me the instructions I need to walk farther along the path of righteousness. Lead me, O Lord, to humbly walk in the direction You have set before me, loving all whom I meet, and knowing that You are the Lord of all. Take from me any attitude that is either inferior or superior and help me to live faithfully in this life which You have given me. Amen.
