Why is it that we judge people on outwardly aspects instead of inwardly ones? I'm guilty of it too, I'm just curious. A person is judged for the car they drive, neighborhood they live in, clothes they wear, even food they eat. These are all things that could totally be altered easily. It seems however, that things such as personality are way lower on the scale. You can be a completely horrible person but if you are living in the best neighborhood, driving the right car, and wearing all the right things people are going to want to be around you. It reminds me of the story of the prodigal son.
As long as the son was handing out the gifts and throwing the parties people were all about being his friend, but as soon as the money ran out there was no one there to pick him up and be his friend.
Today I want you to assess your scale. What do you judge people on? You can be truthful because you are the only one that is going to know. My challenge to you today is to remember that God wants you to be a fisher of men. He wants you to love others. So today get outside your comfort zone and don't worry so much about impressing people with your appearance or lifestyle but more so impress upon them the love of Christ. This world is not your home, the things of this earth are temporary. Look for ways to show God's love to someone completely different than you today. It might not be easy, but it will at the very least give you something different to talk about at the dinner table tonight.
Have a great day!
