Sorry I've been so behind on my blogs lately. I really should work on that. Anyway. Tonight at huddles, we talked about our appearance. We had to draw ourselves by following a certain code, I think it was called "bioglyph"? Mine looked rather interesting.. hair sticking up straight, eyes cross-eyed, one ear, a triangle for a nose.. But hey, that's me! The point of this whole exercise was this, (or at least this is what I got out of it, with a few of my own thoughts thrown in there): We are judged based on our outward appearance. What sports we play, what activities we're involved in, when we were born, who we hang out with, and what we look like. But what does that matter? God doesn't care about any of that. He looks at our heart. If we were to draw our heart, what would that look like? Would it be broken? Full of love? Full of regret? In pain? Everyone's would look different. I know mine would be broken and hurt, but it would also be full of love and compassion for the people around me. So since God looks at the heart, so should we. That's the only thing that should matter when you look at a person. I can tell you right now I am terrible at judging a book by its cover. But I have come out of that and have gotten to know some really neat people, and I absolutely would be lost without them! I know that everything these days says that image is everything. And yes, it IS a big part of life. We need to make sure that along with our inward appearance, our outward appearance shows Christ as well. Obviously we aren't perfect, nor will we ever be. It's what's on the inside that counts.
Let's make it count.
