Food, Food, Food.
Food is so delicious.
My mouth becomes watery.
I drool at the sight of food.
I know all kinds of food.
Food that taste good
Food that taste amazing
And the food that taste terrible.
Oh Food, Food, Food.
It comes in all shapes and sizes.
It lifts you up when you’re down.
It comforts you when you’re alone.
But we have so much to choose from.
Do I go with chocolate or ice- cream?
Steak or ribs?
Chicken or beef stew?
Vegetables or fruits?
Pap or rice?
We all have favourites.
Favourite this!
A favourite that!
A favourite person!
Favouritism is all and well.
Except people favour.
Favour discriminates people.
Favour shows prejudice.
Having favourites made me a judge.
People put on the stand.
Choice put in my hands
Who I like and who I don’t.
My choice has consequences.
Whom shall I choose?
The answer is neither!

This was inspired by the book of James in the 2nd chapter, where Paul speaks of favouritism. He says that we as Christians should not show favouritism to anyone be it the rich or the poor. A comparison of this would be between, high politician and an everyday working class person. To bring it down to our levels in today’s world, we all have our favourite people. And we would say “this or that person is my favourite person” to others. I know I have. I’m guilty as charged. And it’s okay to have close friends or even best friends but we should be objective when it comes to making decisions. Even if it means choosing between the side of your best friend and someone you barely know. Favouritism in the church of Christ can cause division. Many people have been hurt in their families by the statements that parents make when they say “this is my favourite child” in a family which has more than one child. We don’t want that. Let’s leave the Judge which is Christ to judge not us, because we are definitely not qualified.
James 2:1-13
Give it a read 😊
Anatomy of truth 
favouritism has done a lot of damage in some families where a parent treats one child better than the other. I’ve experienced this with my mom and it’s really not cool😥

Yeah, what we can do is make sure that we do differently. And heal from what happened
