"........ Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly, we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
2 Corinthians 4 :16-18
I'm not proud to say this, but sometimes, I judge a book by its cover too.
Most modern people have shallow minds. They are very quick to judge from the appearance. This is a hurtful behaviour, but we live through it. We judge others, and other judge us. By what standard? None, mostly use appearances!
I know a guy who left his blind date in the cinema just after he discovered that she was a plain and overweight spinster. Little did he know that she was a successful entrepreneur. Now, she is happily married, and running her own successful chain of boutiques. He, at 45, still an executive in a firm where he has worked for the past 15 years. He complains all the time, but makes no effort to improve himself.
We live day by day, exposing ourselves to more harsh judgements from others, at the same time, passing out even more judgements to others.
Beauty and wealth will pass. Even cosmetics, plastic surgeries as well as all the money in the world cannot renew our look for long.
But, eternal glory lasts forever.............
