SABRINA I think if we are honest, we will all admit to judging the proverbial book by its cover - whether it be the multi-colored hair-style, body piercings seemingly free spirit, or “prim and proper clothing” complete with matching accessories “stuffy person.” We tend to be more comfortable with those who LOOK like us. We are reminded against this, however, in 1 Samuel 16:7, when God said to Samuel “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” We forget those profound words in the very first chapter of Genesis - “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” Every single person we come in contact with today is made in the image of God. His image is imprinted on each and every one. As we go through today, let us remind ourselves of that and not miss an opportunity to connect with someone on a more personal level simply because of their outward appearance! Have a blessed day!
