Isa. 55: 9
As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts. 

Heavenly Father wants you to close that gap: to think higher thoughts, to act in higher ways. To Him, a person is never higher than when they stoop to pick up one another: convicts, the homeless, immigrants, the sick (Matt. 25: 35-36). Condescension is a characteristic of godliness (1 Ne. 11: 26-29). Want to lift the dregs of society. Try. Make them a part of your life. Bring forth from the abundance of your heart that which is good (Luke 6: 45).
