James 2:5 (HCSB), "Listen, my dear brothers: Didn't God choose the poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that He has promised to those who love Him?"
Hallelujah, God's ways are not our ways. In James 2, we are given the illustration that if you show favoritism of one group over another (in this case rich over poor), you "discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts", James 2:4 (HCSB). It would be better for us to remember Job 34:19 (HCSB), "God is not partial to princes and does not favor the rich over the poor, for they are all the work of His hands."
God made each of us regardless of our position in society. God loves all of His children. Our challenge is to see the people around us with God's eyes and not man's eyes. Each person is one of God's unique creations and worthy of His love and our love too. Likewise, if others are worthy of God's love, then you are too.
Take Refuge, regardless of your "place" in life, God loves you individually and He expects all Christians to love your as well.
