Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover

Week 7: Developing Character

Don’t judge a book by its cover.
I Samuel 16: 7

Always judge people by the content of their character. Do not be moved by the color or the curvature of a person’s skin. A girl might be as pretty as a picture but remember she is still a girl, a person not a thing. Love keeps things personal. Lust turns a person into a thing. Met any good objects lately? I hope not. Met any good people lately? I hope so.

The devil’s way of doing things will always downplay the individual unless they fit into a demographic or demagogic image. The devil’s way is to highlight an image above the substance beneath. Your way is to highlight the substance. How will you treat people so that they and others recognize they are substantial?
