The impartial Father


HE RESERVES THE BESTFOR THE LAST.
“And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts...”
Genesis 25:5-6 KJV
Abraham, our father of faith had two sons – Ishmael, and Isaac ( the son of promise). Like our earthly
fathers have favourites among their children, so our heavenly
Father. He has his own way of relating with everyone of us.
The Psalmist realized this when he prayed;
“Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings”
Psalms 17: 8.
God is impartial, but it's your personal
relationship with him that will determined the portion you will
occupy in His heart. Cornelius, a centurion, had not accepted Christ at
that time, but he was a just man who was given to prayers, and his family, and he gave alms generously. And God accepted his sacrifice and gave him the Grace of meeting with Peter. But before then, God gave Peter a vision which
demonstrated that God shows no partiality to anyone
