Daily Gratitude-Year Eleven: Day 140- Today, I am grateful for no favoritism.
"But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness." -James 3:17-18 NLT
I love this passage. It is challenging and comforting, all at the same time. There is much to unpack in these verses, but today the portion of the passage that says, "It shows no favoritism" captured my heart.
One of the great mysteries of parenting is how our hearts expand with the birth of each child. We love them all equally and differently, no matter how many children we have. They are all unique, and we treasure whatever it is that makes each one special.
In this passage, it associates showing no favoritism as a sign of wisdom. Sewing the seeds of kindness is how we begin to plant gardens of peace.
Today, I am grateful for no favoritism.
