One of the grossest moments of daily life is pulling a cup from the cabinet, filling it with a beverage of choice, then realizing the inside of the glass didn’t get clean in the dishwasher. Crusty floaters make their way to the top or chunky wads reflect from the bottom to the surface. The outside looks great, but somehow the inside was overlooked.
Sadly, we often respond the same way. Kids and teenagers are usually drawn to the better looking, more popular people in their classes. In the workplace, the best-dressed, well-spoken, good-looking people receive much attention. Even in churches, patrons often look to the families who faithfully enter the church building dressed well and think, Wow, what a wonderful Christian family.
