A person may go to a bookstore
and buy something solely based on the cover. There is no knowledge of the
author or the content. The outside looks good. To quell the practice of buying
books based solely on the outside cover some bookstores have begun wrapping
books in brown paper and writing the genre on the outside. It keeps individuals
from passing unnecessary judgment on otherwise good books. This should serve as
a reminder that while someone can look one way on the outside the heart of that
person could be completely different. Do not allow the color of one’s skin, the
sex of a person, the family tree, physical stature, or otherwise cause you to
place a unjust judgment on an individual. We are not the ones who automatically
know what is inside. “But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his
countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him:for
the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man
looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.” (1 Sam.
16:7).
