IT'S NOT ABOUT US

One evening at a mission in a poverty-stricken area a man at the door said, "I would come in, but my coat is in rags." The answer came back, "That is no matter, there's a man inside without a coat at all."

We might be tempted to think that God restricts Himself to associate only with those who meet His standard, who somehow merit His attention. But God is no respecter of persons. When we are partial, we are most unlike God.

1 Corinthians 1:27-29 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty, and base things of the world and things which are despised hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are. That no flesh should glory in His presence.

It is not about us. It is about God.
