People can be incredibly cruel to each other: labeling, slandering, gossiping about, and shunning those who are different from them in some way.
Thankfully, God isn't like that.
People sometimes view others as outcasts, but no outcasts exist from God's perspective. The story of how the Angel of the Lord helps a mistreated woman named Hagar shows that God is willing to care for anyone who has faith -- not just certain types of people.
Hagar famously told the Angel of the Lord (who was God himself appearing in angelic form): "You are the God who sees me." May we ask God daily for the wisdom to truly see the people we encounter -- to realize that God made them in his image -- and to treat them accordingly!
