The Least or the Greatest!
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. (Matthew 25:40)
While traveling one day I found myself in a home talking with a family that had two young children, this home had no floors but only dirt beneath your feet. You could look at the home and see that at sometime the floors of the home caved in and they didn't have the means to fix the damage. The two young children were playing and having the time of their life without knowing how bad they really had it. I found myself leaving that house and being more grateful for what I had than what I was before I saw that family living in the house in that shape. But the truth is that family was not the least in the eyes of God, that family was the greatest.
The fact is sometimes we look at situations like that and begin to look down on someone or treat them differently because they are lacking in areas that you are abounding in. But one day could change it all, and everything that you have could slowly fade out of existince with no way of stopping it. But how you treat people shows what is really on the inside of your heart. When we give without the thought of getting something in return we find ourselves in a higher place. One day I pray that the seeds that I have sown into those who were less fortunate than me will begin to flourish into something that will bring God great glory and honor. But until that day I want to see through the eyes of God and understand that those who think they have arrived have actually not started the process, but those who have humbled themselves will be exalted in due time. The least in the Kingdom of God is the greatest,the last will be the first. But even at that what we do for the least of these in this world we are doing for the Lord himself. What that family had was something that could not be purchased with money or even taught in a classroom, but they had the greatest of all, LOVE!
