God places, and allow, all kind of people in our life. They come in many different ways with several attributes. Sometimes it cost us a high price and sometimes there's something special they contribute. Either way there is a reason or purpose served in why they are there and what we do. Either way we have to be observant and recognize the truth. Its not always about whether we win or loose. But if we in some way grew. Did this person cause me to learn a lesson? Maybe that was the blessing. Did they cause me to fall? And did I rise up a bit higher; where I can now stand tall? What some may call a bum on the street. May be just the person we need. The one that can spread a smile that wipe tears from your eyes. The man or woman with many riches who denied you a position that could of caused you your life. Some people can be a blessing in disguise. There to build your character or save you from a grave; in which you may not have seen this day.
Our society has a standard that is separated from God in reference to who's Who. Whats right, whats wrong. Who is worthy, who is not. What you have or what you don't got. With God we are set apart from those kind of thoughts. We are who we are.
If we follow his example we'd save ourselves a lot of grief. By simply accepting people as God created them to be.
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 nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. 1 Corinthians 1: 27-29
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Romans 3: 22-23
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6: 14-15
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin unto death. 1 John : 16-17
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Romans 12: 9
