NO DISCRIMINATION

Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
I like this verse. It means that God does not discriminate.
God does not look upon a persons status in life. He doesn't care what we look like or how smart we are. The color of our hair or skin doesn't make a difference. It is not necessary to be rich or popular.
God looks upon us and sees our need. He provides for that need according to His riches in glory through Jesus Christ.
There have been times in my life I have had strong feelings of inferiority. I have often overcompensated by being a loud mouth and a show off. I thought that everyone else suspected that I was inferior so I would try to impress them in some way. If they didn't think I was inferior to begin with my rash behavior might have made them think so.
I guess what I really wanted was to be accepted, to be loved, to be cherished.
When I begin to feel inferior now I try to remember. God loves me. He loves me with a perfect love and He loves me in spite of everything else. That makes me feel pretty good knowing that the Creator of the Universe is interested in me as an individual.
