In one of his discussions, St Peter tells Cornelius and his household:
Like in a family, all children are loved by the parents. However, if a child has special needs, the parents naturally have their eye specifically on that child more than the other children. It is not that they love them more, but that they supplement what is deficient so as to help that particular needy child learn to cope up with life. Parents love all their children, but those with special needs, get extra attention.
...God does not have favourites, but that anybody of any nationality who fears God and does what is right is acceptable to him. (Acts 10: 34)But this is actually not right! God does have favourites. He is partial to some. If he isn't, then it is not fair. Then history is all wrong. God always had and will have favourites. His favourites are the poor, the marginalised, those suffering and the destitute. However, the fact that he has favourites does not mean he despises those whom he does not favour. Certainly not. He loves everyone; but those in need are closer to his heart!
