Romans 12:2-4
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.
Its always the best practice to look at others through the prism of Gods grace; i.e. where would you be today had it not been for the grace of God? Very little separates you from the homeless man in a soup line, the inmate in the county jail, or the young pregnant girl in a dead end relationship.
Before you make a judgmental comment or make a harsh assumption about someones status...or station in life...you need to think long and hard about where you would be had it not been for Gods blessing and mercy.
The reversal or change of (1) one dynamic in your life could result in a total realignment of where and what you are today. You may be blessed with Christian parents; but what if it were not so? Your in good health; but what if you were not? Gods blessing has provided a place you call "home"; but what if you did not?

Now, when you work it out I'm worse than you
Yeah, when you work it out I wanted to
Now, when you work out where to draw the line
Your guess is as good as mine
Its as good as mine [x7]
Where do we go nobody knows?
Don't even say you're on your way down, (when)
God gave you style and gave you grace
And put a smile upon your face <!-Lyrics End->

Treat everyone with dignity and respect...with gratitude in your heart for all that God has done.
God give you style and give you grace. God put a smile upon your face.
Micah 6:8
He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?
Step down off your high horse and be willing to give the shirt off your back...to anyone in need.
