Inclusion or Exclusion?

So today I think I'm going to talk about my thoughts on 'inclusion and exclusion' or a better way of describing it might be our judgemental character, prejudice, even maybe our human nature? Recently I have witnessed a few events in which either of these things have happened, either someone has included or excluded a person from maybe a social group or even some sort of event. And this got me thinking... what had caused them to act the way in which they did? Their judgement; they had excluded or included that person based on whether or not that person possessed traits of which they deemed to be 'attractive, good or similar to theirs.' But my next question is what does God say about judging others and because someone is different does that mean that they should be excluded? God says that everyone one of us is made in his image but that he has also made all of us individuals, we are all different but that each and everyone of us is made that way for a purpose. He tells us that 'we should love our neighbour' but not only that he says that 'we should honour one another above ourselves-Romans 12:10. Then why do we judge people? Why do we stereotype? Because we are imperfect, we are all sinners and this is in our human nature, and instead of showing this love and compassion onto others we often are egotistic and place ourselves above others i.e we judge them and position them either has below or rarely above us. Either include or exclude. But has christians we should seek to share that love God showed us and obey his command of loving our neighbour. We should include. We should be that welcoming person, we should not judge on outward appearances, but rather we should accept people for who they are. So let me finish by challenging you to include everyone whether it be inviting them to events, letting them join in with your friend group or even by walking with them to the bus.

God did not comfort you so that you may be comforted, but so that you be comforter
