WHICH ONE ARE YOU? by (me!) sandra, tvgp

you are on your way to work and see a person in need; car trouble


you.. barely notice; glance without becoming conscious of what you've seen.. and continue driving looking all around while your mind is consumed with matters of your day ahead

you... notice and consciously take in that there is a person in need.. you trust someone else will be along soon to help them and continue on your way

you... notice/consciously take in there is a person in need.. are unable to stop because you have a very important matter of your own to deal with, and so toss out a prayer -asking for forgivness for yourself, and for God to send someone to help the person in need

you notice/consciously take in.. and use your phone to call someone else to come help

you.. notice/consciously take in there is a person in need.. you have places to go, people to see and are annoyed, but still pull over to inquire whether or not the person could use your help (hoping they don't) -and provide the minimum amount of support required before you are on your way

you.. notice/consciously take in there is a person in need... and you've been that person in need before, so -with your heart in it, as the saying goes.. you pull over and offer to help (grateful you can be of service)
--and provide support above and beyond what is actually needed

you.. notice/consciously take in there is a person in need.. and you really, /as this saying goes.. don't give a shit

you... not only don't give a shit, but take pleasure in witnessing someone in need

you.. not only don't give a shit, and take pleasure in seeing a person in need.. but add to their trouble by driving close by and throwing some litter in their direction while laughing


***

now..

God is a reader of hearts. the heart whisperer... he knows hearts, and minds, and conscious awareness and your conscience too


do you know what does and does not matter in the scenarios above?

what religion the person in need is; or what religion you are.


***

if you will allow me another food analogy -God pays attention to the meal; not the plate it's served on.

***

addendum: because in fact.. in the scenarios above, none of these things matter:

religion of either person; age of either person; race of either person; gender of either person; sexual orientation of either person; income of either person; education level of either person; what type of car either person is driving;

none of these things matter

our God is a God of hearts.
