Appearances
“People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7; NLT).
“What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy – full of greed and self-indulgence!” (Matthew 23:25; NLT).
Lord,
It’s easy
To be acceptable
On the outside –
To other people;
But far more difficult
To be acceptable
On the inside –
To you!
