Who Cares What You Look Like... God doesn't! That's probably not very good news if you are someone who puts a lot of importance in the way you look. But it is very good news for those of us who never looked cool, stylish, sexy, hip, classy, handsome, beautiful, athletic or at least interesting. The Lord is neither impressed nor put off by the way we look. God is much more concerned about the condition of our hearts. According to I Samuel 16:7, "The Lord does not look at the things a person looks at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." I'm looking for a church where people aren't judged by the way they look, but are loved just the way they are, and encouraged to love God with all their hearts. That's the kind of church where you are likely to find Jesus. -- Bob
