looking good…

Christians believe God can get us to a place where we do not have to look good all the time, in our own eyes. Have you ever been around people who always have to win, always have to “look” better than anyone else in the room? The word “humility” does not, cannot exist for those who must the brightest bulb in the room!
We are not talking about how you comb or don’t comb your hair, or the style of clothes you wear. We are talking about the need to impress people, or how you react when you are losing a debate about some unimportant issue. Sometime we are guilty of thinking our worth is in how we “look” to others… In I Corinthians 13, Paul reminds us that God loves us perfectly! His love for us is not dependant upon how we look to others or how we see ourselves! Pure love comes from those who are not full of pride or do not need to boast about how great they are! None of us will look good all the time, yes we need to do our best, but in Christ we need to be free to be who He knows we are, sinners saved by grace!
