God has no favorites. I have three daughters, and there have been times in life when people have asked me, who's your favorite? And I have to chuckle when I hear that because my mind doesn't even go there. I don't think in terms of one daughter being favored over another, because they're all my kids. They're my girls. I love them dearly. I have no favorites. And we're told that God has no favorites. We are all his children. It doesn't matter whether we're Abigail, Magdalene, or Eden, Hunter or Heather or you, or whoever, it doesn't matter whether we are Jew or Gentile, circumcised uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave or free. It doesn't matter. Christ is all that matters. He is the favored one. And we, our lives are hidden in his. That's what Paul says, our real life is hidden with God in Christ, the favorite one. He has no favorites because we're all favored. We're all loved. We've been included. God has reconciled the whole world to himself. Paul says he has no favorites because we are all loved by him. And that my friend is such good news. In the prayer of my own heart today is that I will see who I am in Christ favored and loved. And that's a prayer that I have for my family too for my daughters, for my wife, and for you. May it be so
You are loved!
