“For whom the Lord loves He corrects,
just as a father the son in whom he delights.”
Proverbs 3:12 

During World War II, Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr. was waiting for a plane. A sailor stepped to a ticket window and asked for a seat on the same plane explaining, “I want to see my mother; I ain’t got much time.” The indifferent young woman at the ticket window was not impressed. “There’s a war on you know,” she replied curtly. At this point, Roosevelt, who had over heard the conversation, stepped to the window and told her to give the sailor his seat. A friend spoke in surprise, “Teddy, aren’t you in a hurry, too?” “It’s a matter of rank.” Came the reply. “I’m only a general, he’s a son!”

The lowliest person on earth, if a Christian, has the highest rank because he is a Son of God!
