There is no Love in Favoritism

Favoritism is ungodly!

When we choose to favor one parent over the other or one child over the other, we have committed sin.

Acts 10:34 "Opening his mouth, Peter said: "I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality,"

There is no love in partiality!

Ignoring, negating, neglecting and dismissing others simply because we like one personality over another is hateful and mean. Only those who are hiding and angry in their souls choose to elevate the personality they like and in some way enhances them, while negating those that do not enhance them. When we are focused on Christ, we can see the qualities of all believers as a valuable part of the body.

Chances are good, if we play favorites, then we have sin in our own hearts, based not on righteousness but on personal pleasure and our own self promotion.

Every personality and gift has value in God's eyes, He gave us our bents and under God's guidance, we are valuable in the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 12:12-26

"12 As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ.

13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons, and we were all given to drink of one Spirit.

14 Now the body is not a single part, but many.

15 If a foot should say, “Because I am not a hand I do not belong to the body,” it does not for this reason belong any less to the body.

16 Or if an ear should say, “Because I am not an eye I do not belong to the body,” it does not for this reason belong any less to the body.

17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?

18 But as it is, God placed the parts, each one of them, in the body as he intended. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be?

20 But as it is, there are many parts, yet one body.

21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I do not need you.”

22 Indeed, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are all the more necessary,

23 and those parts of the body that we consider less honorable we surround with greater honor, and our less presentable parts are treated with greater propriety,

24 whereas our more presentable parts do not need this. But God has so constructed the body as to give greater honor to a part that is without it,

25 so that there may be no division in the body, but that the parts may have the same concern for one another.

26 If [one] part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part is honored, all the parts share its joy."
