But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. (James 2:9,10)
Dear Jesus,
Our ability to keep humble and avoid showing favoritism must be founded on the point made by James - we all stand condemned without you. We all stand equally and fully condemned. No one is better than the other, no one is more righteous. All stand equally. And all stand equally in need of your saving sacrifice. Thank you for saving us. Thank you for your faithfulness. Thank you that I can have comfort not only in my own salvation, but in the salvation of these little ones if they give themselves to you and to your compassion and mercy. I pray that they make that decision.
Amen
