STOP AND THINK – – The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them. That’s the essence of inhumanity. (Inspiration Line)
To be ignored is often as painful as to be mistreated. We can be pretty clever at ignoring the suffering people around us. We can walk right past a vagrant asking for help, pretending that we don’t see him or her. Such inaction illustrates the lack of value we place on all of God’s creation. We must recognize that all men are created in God’s image and have value.
In humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others. (Philippians 2:3-4)
