I am not completely comfortable with the fact that we naturally judge by the outward appearance. There is a beauty we all have within.
But what about our outward appearance? How do we show ourselves as a christian even without someone really knowing us?
I talk a lot about shining for Jesus, but what about that polish on the outside? Do we need that, too?
Why wouldn't a healthy outward appearance be a reflection of what's going on inside? I wouldn't select a withered piece of fruit any more than I would an ugly picture to hang on the wall. But people aren't fruit or art.
Still, there is something within a person that can resonate with others.
Anything worth having takes effort even sacrifice, perhaps even within ourselves.

im agree with you...
its not comfortable to be judge by our appearance,...
but sadly thats the way it works.
it takes time to know people more, so the first image that recorded in our mind are outward appearance
True Yhosie, I am glad the Lord looks at the heart, and not the outward appearance.
He tries the reigns of our heart....
