We are all equal

In the eyes of God.When it comes to God our race,class,backgrounds,intelligence quotient do not matter. God does not care about how educated we are,how many houses,cars,business we own.We all are equal.He does not care whether we are more fluent in a particular language nor is he bothered by all our qualifications.To Him we are all one,created by Him.

God is not bothered by our physical attributes,heights and fashion sense.Our achievements do not move Him.He loves us and there only thing he is concerned about is our salvation and our happiness.The fact that Jesus died for all makes us all equal.At the cross,we become nothing but God's creation.

The sad thing is in Uni you begin to observe certain individuals who start thinking they are better than others because they know more,they are more fluent in english,they get good grades.But all of this doesn't matter.It doesn't make you any better than the other individual,it just makes you better than who you were yesterday.

In fact,we should not study hard or do good because we are trying to become better than others.Life is NOT a competition,you are running your OWN race.No need to get worked up on becoming better than others.Instead,I personally believe you become better as you help others.There is no use competing each other.

After all,if we were to start comparing,then you will never better because there's someone who knows better and has more.

Life is much better when we help each other instead of competing against each other.

WHAT IS MY/YOUR WORTH?

"You must know where you come from in order for you to know where you are going".I fully concur.

I was created by God-I was not spoken into existence nor did I evolve from an animal to become human (Genesis 1:26-27).

I was made in God's image (Genesis 1:27).

I am fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14)-when I think of the fact that I have 11 systems that work in congruence in my body,I realize that God put some thought in creating me.

I can not be bought,I do not have a price tag-gold and silver do not even amount to my worth.I was bought by the blood of Jesus (1 Peter 1:18,19).

I am NOT a mistake,I am NOT an accident-before my mom met my father,God knew I was going to exist.I was planned beforehand (Jeremiah 1:5).

It is not by chance that I am black,Xhosa-speaking,a twin-God preplanned everything.He planned my date of birth,where I'd stay and everything about me (Acts 17:26).

I am the apple of God's eye and my name is written on His palms (Isaiah 49:16).

God knows everything about me-even the number of my hairs (Luke 12:7).

My worth is NOT defined by: possessions,physical attributes,intelligence,height,mass,smile,length of my hair or anything else.

My worth is not defined by my qualifications or my relationship status.

Instead,I find my worth in God and in no-one else. God loves me and He would have sent Jesus even if I was the only sinner on earth.

Christ died for me (John 3:16) and He wants to spend eternity with me!

Psalm 8:4-5King James Version (KJV)

"4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour."

Thankful Wednesday: the good men that I cross paths with

I love my job because I get to meet people from different walks of life. There's been one elderly man who has become a father figure to...
