I now have five grandchildren: four boys & one girl. I can talk your ear off about any one of them. Which is my favorite? The one I’m with at the moment. Each is unique in their abilities & talents. Each is in their own stage of development. Each is delightful in a different way.
It’s okay to have favorites but its not alright to show favoritism. Having a favorite comes naturally, not showing favoritism requires intentional effort. First, you have to own that you like some people more than others. Next, you need to fight the tendency to spend all of your time & attention on those you favor. Finally, speak love & favor into your heart concerning those you do not naturally gravitate toward. Embracing their differences will help to expand your world.
The next time you are tempted to turn away from someone, focus on them instead. Show them favor with your heart, your actions & your attention.
