When I
started working in a service-oriented company; I have met a lot of people from
all walks of life. I got a chance to talk and mingle with them and during that
time, was I also able to see some differences to how people react or behave in
certain instances.
Some “rich” and “educated” people
tend to be more impatient for their queue to be called; some of them cut others
and some of them raise their voices when talking with the front liners.
However, those who are average or below average know how to wait and calmly
talk with us. It shows that some people tend to boast themselves just because
they have more.
It is important to treat people
equally because we are all God’s creation. Despite the difference in status or
income level, we are still His. We should give respect not because they need it
but because it is what they deserve and whatever measure we use to others, will
be measured back to us. If we disrespect others; we are also disrespecting
ourselves. But if we throw kindness to them; they will throw us back the same
kindness that we gave.
When Jesus was born, God chose the
shepherds to be his first visitors at the manger. And when Jesus died and risen
from the dead, He showed himself to a woman who was once possessed by demons.
It shows that God did not send His only begotten son here on earth for the rich
– but most especially for the “poor”, “uneducated”, “uncultured” and “uncouth”.
God reaches to us in ways that we
cannot see; He puts people in our lives to help us acknowledge the different
personalities of human creation and to equally give respect and appreciation.
And most of all, to help us learn that God created man and woman with His great
love and we should offer the same love to people around us by being Christ’s
witnesses of salvation.
