Partial
A CHICAGO BANK once asked for a letter of recommendation on a young Bostonian being considered for employment...
The Boston investment house could not say enough about the young man. His father, they wrote, was a Cabot; his mother was a Lowell. Further back was a happy blend of Saltonstalls, Peabodys, and others of Boston's finest families. His recommendation was given without hesitation.
Several days later, the Chicago bank sent a note saying the information supplied was altogether inadequate. It read: "We are not contemplating using the young man for breeding purposes. Just for work."
THOUGHT: God is not a respector of persons either. He wants to use people from every family, nation, and race who want to work and serve for Him.
KneEmail: "Then Peter opened his mouth and said: "In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him" ( Acts 10:34-35).
