Happy Dance Time!

TGIF Greetings~

Romans 2:11 “God does not show favoritism.”

What a great verse!  When my kids were little Jorge and I would occasionally ask them, “Who do we love more?”  Rayray would always say, “Jorgie,” and Hormone would always say, “Rachel.”

That made us feel that somehow we were doing things right.  No child wants to feel like their sibling is loved more than they are.  Showing favoritism is a guaranteed way to invite jealousy and bitterness into a family.

It’s great that God – the ultimate Parent – understands this and therefore does not show favoritism.  This means – among other things – that if He answered prayer for someone else, He will answer for you.

Amen! Amen! Amen!

He doesn’t answer prayer based on who’s the cutest, the brightest, or sweetest.  I might never ever receive an answer again if there were the case.  He doesn’t show favoritism; He answers any and all who seek Him.

Case in point: I have a buddy whose son has struggled for the past couple of years with a health matter.  This mom dug her heels in and decided she would persist in prayer until her answer came.  Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and months turned into years, but she never gave up. 

Earlier this week I received this text: “I went to the doctor today with _____.  All results came back normal.  There is no inflammation now. Amen!”

As you might imagine, I have been doing my happy dance non-stop.

Please join me in my dancing.  What God did for her, He will do for us.  As lovely as my friend is, she is no lovelier than us.  She positioned herself stubbornly before God’s throne, and He answered.  When we position ourselves accordingly, He will answer us too!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You that You don’t play favorites.  All praying people and all prayers are welcome.  Hallelujah! In Jesus’ name we pray, AMEN!
