Not a poor Swazi woman but a precious daughter in the Kingdom of God.

 

 

 

 

 

 

As I think about this title the more it rings true in my heart.  Not that we as Americans are holy, powerful, or greater than others, but that is what we all think.

 

 I was saying goodbye today to a little girl and her sister that I have been ministering to in the hospital and I brought in my camera to get a photo of them and with them.  When I was taking one of the pictures the woman turned to me and said, "You are going to publish this and it will be titled 'poor swazi woman'". I was so taken away by this comment!  But there was something about it that strung so true in my heart.

 

We are always the ones saying that we need to go and help this country or change this government because it is not like ours.  But who are we to say that we are better than others and to put ourselves upon a pedestal to the rest of the world.  We need to come to the realization that we are equal.  We have the same God, came from the same place, and we all need each other sometimes.  Don't put yourself up on a pedestal today because someone might need you to just be there for them, to be equal not higher.

 

Thank you and blessings upon you,

Kevin
