Favourites..?

If God gave one person a gift of prophecy while the other have none, is God being unfair? Does it mean He loves the one with the gift more? What is fair and what is being someone's favourite? If one disciple is more obedient than another, doesn't he/she deserve more blessing and responsibility? Or everyone should have the same authority but in actual fact is not ready for obedience?

I absolutely disagree with having favourites, among the 12 disciple of Jesus, don't you think tt there will be some closer to Jesus than others? Some can be frank with Jesus while some, quiet and reserved, have another plan in God's kingdom? And yet have better understanding about Jesus with those who can laugh and joke with Jesus??

Only when you become a parents with more than 1 child you will know that you will always try to be fair but its a difficult task.. Because which child is different.. And if we really want to be fair, we would have 1 set of rules that applies to everyone while the showing of care, discipline n encouragement should differ from one child to another child.. I think than that would be fair..

It's hard to explain in by writing.. I can only say that as for rules, it must be equal or the same but when it comes to discipline and encouragement, it must suit the person we are teaching or mentoring.. Not any 1 method can apply to everyone.. Even showing love can be receive differently by diff ppl.. Thus I think being fair to many young ppl is.. To know them personally and to treat them the way they would feel most loved n appreciated. Discipline them in the way that they can understand. Love them no matter how they may perceive our good intentions..

I know how it feels like to not be the favourite, but its ok.. Really.. I am still loved, just differently.. Let us not have that first born mentality coz when our brother return home and our father shower him with authority n receive him unconditional.. Welcome him too.. For he has suffered enough being alone on his own without his father and without his brothers n sisters with him for a long time..

Favourites? We are all God's favourites..
