It doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.

Romans 14: 1-3
Accept anyone who is weak in faith, but don’t argue about doubtful issues. One person believes he may eat anything, but one who is weak eats only vegetables. One who eats must not look down on one who does not eat; and one who does not eat must not criticize one who does, because God has accepted him.
Acceptance is important. We ourselves want it, but it is amazing how much after we have received it, we begin to grade the levels of those around us. Some are even proud to only have a certain kind of friends and would not be caught running around with those beneath their level. It is prideful, and it is hurtful to many that desire simple acceptance.
When we run into others in the faith it is important to remember the importance of humility. Christ taught us that it was the most important trait we needed as Christians, it is a daily “heart check” to rein in our flesh. Our point of view here is not so important, but it is the view point of where we are all going that should drive our faith.
God thinks very highly of each of us, but when we begin to grade, to put each other on different levels, socially, or in any other way, we become distasteful to Him. It’s something to think about in our daily lives isn’t it, how we choose our friends? Let’s all become people that find points on which to agree and strive together for the lost in our world, not a social standing. We shouldn’t be “high maintenance,” but servants of one another…God’s Blessings.
