In fact, often the smile of God is on those we consider the "least" and the curse of God is on those who often have the "most". It discourages me whenever I am trapped by the glitter of this world and fail to recognize that Jesus Himself was one of the "least" in this life.
The separation of the sheep and the goats will be a telling day. I believe the scripture would clearly say that it will be the "least in this life" who will make up the majority population in heaven.
Be careful that you treat people with the love of Jesus....ALL OF THEM. You never know when you are addressing a child of God.
i am currently wrestling with how to use my talents (time, money, energy, etc...) i know that there are things i could do to be serving others more and i know that there are things that God has made me good at and there are thigns I am passionate about. the difficulty is when those collide. when i am passionate about something that God has made me good at, but it sucks time away from where i could be serving others for example. or when i want to serve others in a way i am good at, but not passionate about. or when i'm passionate about something that could help others, but i'm not very good at it. it is hard to know how to best make use of these short days sometimes.
