In our daily lives, we sometimes encounter people who, initially, impress us. As we get to know them better, though, we are disappointed by them because we discover that they are not really who and what we initially thought they were. Their conversations 'sound' different from ours ... the company they keep is different from ours ... their habits differ from ours.
This might be because we were fooled by these peoples' outward appearances. This will never be the case with our Lord, Jesus Christ. It is written in I Sam 16:7(b): The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
So, let us always strive to be pure of heart - as Jesus is!
May we all have a blessed week in which we really experience God's exceptional grace and mercy.
