As a student I worked behind the front desk in the library. One evening a fellow student approached wearing a suit & tie. I thought her comes a nice fellow. He was rude, arrogant, and his speech was, well, less than gracious. Moments later I was approached by another student who had long messy hair, sloppy clothing. I thought her comes trouble. He proved to be a very pleasant young man. As he walked away the Spirit of God spoke to me. I was judging by appearances, and it was wrong.
Although I was polite to both, my heart gave me away. God’s love for both these young men was the same. I was showing favoritism, I was the quinte essential hypocrite, and it was sin. It is the same today. Lord, give me the wisdom of heart to see others through your eyes.
