Today is Tuesday, September 25th, 2018, and here is your daily devote. God certainly wasn't obligated to show grace and mercy. He didn't have to show favor to Noah and his family, and he didn't have to continue on with his promise to one day make things right again. But he did, and if God refuses to give up on people at their worst, should we not also show similar level of compassion to those around us?
Who in our society today do we not regard as precious in God's sight? Perhaps we don't see them as fully human. For some, it may be the unborn. For others, it is the refugee, the elderly, the disabled, those of other ethnicities, the poor, the homeless, or the prisoner.
These are not demographics. These are people with the same kinds of pain, fear, and love that we all experience. As those who claim to follow God, we can't just turn a blind eye to people who are also made in his image and are being crushed. Think about this.
How would our relationships with others look different if we lived each day remembering that God freely decided to show us mercy and love instead of judgment? Which vulnerable group in society has not given you a passion to love and serve? Thanks for listening to the Daily Depot. I would love to connect with you either on social media or you can send me an email at www.adamburton.net.
Also, please share this. Why get sent it to somebody who it might be a benefit to? God bless.
