It’s easy to want to invest in something that will pay off in the future, something that will help promote our cause. We all want to make a good deal in a sense and that’s okay in a lot of things but our heart should take a different turn when dealing with people. It’s easy for our flesh to want to mentor and sow into a prestigious person’s child, because you may think it will win you favor with their parents but what about the child who has nothing to offer you but his or her brokenness? What about the people we size up and write off based on their social status, look or income?
I saw a video of Britains Got Talent on YouTube that sort of shows this exact issue. The judges and even the audience thought this one lady was ridiculous before giving her a chance but she ends up proving all her critics wrong. Check it out !
Sadly we often don’t find value in those who don’t have something obvious to offer us. It’s you and me who are missing out when we act this way because God has hidden treasures in jars of clay. He’s hidden some of His most powerful gifts within people who seemingly have nothing.
Dare to invest in those that seem like a “bad investment” to the world and see if beautiful things don’t begin to flow out.
