Who are the least of these?

I have probably already written about this because it is just one of those topics that sticks in my head.  I have witnessed several situations lately where the individuals were extremely proud of themselves for going out of their way to bless "the least of these".   I just have one problem with this.  What determines that someone is a "least of these"?

Money?  Does one assume that because you are wealthy and others aren't that anyone who doesn't have as much money as you do is a least of these?  That seems silly to me because while money can indeed help alleviate the stress that comes with paying bills or buying the things that one wants it can also bring the uncertainty of not knowing who your true friends are and also bring the stress of keeping up the lifestyle that you have placed yourself in.

Popularity?  If I do not have a crowd of people around me does this make me a least of these?  I don't have tons of friends so I am not worthy?  What if I don't have tons of friends because I take friendship very seriously and I am sensitive to the fact that there are only so many hours in a day and if I want to be a true friend that invests myself into a friendship I have to set limits.  I'm not talking about  acquaintances I'm talking about close spill your guts out, don't worry about what they are going to think about you friendships.

Job?  If my position is that of service therefore I am not as good as you are?  What if I don't want to be a doctor or a lawyer?  What if God placed on my heart to serve people?  What if I want a job that at the end of the day I leave and the job stays within the hours of 9 to 5 and there is not stress that invades my home life, my family?

Do not assume yourself to be better than someone else.  Do not look down upon someone because of your assumptions.  You have no clue how happy or unhappy they are with their life.  If things were stripped away from all of us and we were left naked and alone wherein would you find your happiness?  Would you be able to be happy without things?  Without people?

Be content with yourself.  Do not create a levels system that you evaluate those around you and mentally place them accordingly.   Go about your day trying to make this world a better place just because it is the right thing to do and not because of how people will perceive you or praise you.  Go out and just be kind.
