Looking at Labels

 During any crisis, especially one like the current coronavirus pandemic, there will be a special group of people who are listed as Essential; people who provide services that we can't live without. Many of us would agree the list would include: Doctors, Nurses, Police. But our Essentials are also Grocery Store Workers, Mail Carriers, Bus Drivers. The latter group may not make as much money as our health care staff or law enforcement, however that doesn't make them less important. It shouldn't take someone's job title for us to appreciate how they contribute to the world.

1 Corinthians 12:14 says, For the body does not consist of one member but of many.

What would you do if you couldn't get your medication from the Pharmacist, receive important correspondence from the post office or get your pizza delivered on Friday night? In God's Eyes, we are all equally important, no matter our labels.
