Good thoughts there! Reminds me of the five love languages. To truly love someone, we need to learn their love language and love them accordingly. Another thought comes to mind: the difference between equality and equity. The dictionary probably gives a similar definition for the two, but I see a difference, especially as to how God deals with His children. Equality: 5 people and a pizza - divide the pizza into 5 equal parts and each person gets their part. Everybody's happy, right? Equity: 5 people and a pizza - divide the pizza into pieces that meet the true needs of each person. Now everyone is satisfied! God does that: He gives us what we each need. He doesn't parce out, at times, what we think is "fair" or our "right" to have. He is much more loving than that!!! Have a blessed day!
