*YE COMMIT SIN* if ye have respect to persons. No matter the talent, no matter the appearance (handsome or beautiful), no matter the accomplishment and no matter the wealth, if we're cut we all bleed the same color. We're all from the dust; and to the dust we shall return! We're bags of dust; dirtbags, fashioned to look pretty, if you will. We're all human. With all this in mind, you can't stick your chest out but so far! If we respect a certain human being over another, for whatever reason, we sin. We're supposed to respect everybody. What if GOD, all of a sudden, up and started respecting some people while rejecting others? We all deserved to be rejected—believe that. But GOD respected us and accepted us anyhow. We don't respect people because they deserve it. We respect people because GOD respects people. And we allow HIM to respect others through us. Because it's not, nor should it ever be, about us. It's about the ONE we serve! It's about YAHWEH!

"For there is no respect of persons with God." ~ Romans 2:11.
