Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly –John 7:24/NIV

Have you ever misunderstood someone one season only to watch them blossom the next?

I recall my folks telling of a good friend whom they love and respect become not only one of the most spiritual women they’ve known, but one of the physically beautiful women as well.

She was quieter and observant in her younger years and no one took note except that she was kind.

But the love of a good man of God and her own faith grew her into a gracious lady for Christ.

I guess the concept of always leaving the door open for God to work will never grow old as long as we await his return. He is about the business of bringing out the beautiful in us.

To give in to believing things can never change is pride.

To believe a new day is coming in the middle of the storm drives passion.

It’s good to let passion for God swallow any pride that may hinder the beauty of the spiritual flower that is seeking to blossom.

Thankfully God gives us more grace in each season that we may learn to let him show His beauty in us. God asks me to guard my heart for a reason, to protect the beautiful garden He is tending that others may know his aroma when they come around.

Amazing!
