The Least Of These

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. Matthew 25:45

There are no unimportant people. People matter; and how we treat them matters. How can we claim to love God or to be one of His when we so often are so horrible to other people? Our families, friends, loved ones. Our coworkers, classmates, neighbors. Our waitress, cashier, mechanic. These people matter. They are not inisignificant. We have experienced the love of God, or so we say. So tell me, then...how can we not then show it to every person we come in contact with? Every individual you ever meet was created by, loved by and died for by God. They are very special to Him. Think about that the next time you open your mouth to be spiteful, cruel, or condescending.
