Yesterday in Outward Appearance I spoke about how we can often judge people based on what they look like. It’s said that when we meet someone, we have formed an opinion of them within the first few minutes of meeting them.
I don’t know about you, but I find that quite scary, as I tend to be quite quiet when I first meet someone as I’m not particularly good at attempting to make conversion with people I don’t know. If you know me personally, I don’t know if that last statement surprises you or not – All I can say is that maybe I do a good job of hiding how much I feel “out of my comfort zone” when meeting new people, but believe me, I’m shaking and petrified inside!
The good news is God doesn’t go on His first impression of us, as He already know exactly who we are and what we are like, as He made us!
Unfortunately unlike God, we don’t know what others are like until we meet them, however we can make sure that no matter what our first impression of someone is, we are willing and able to get to know and understand what someone is really like, as first impressions, aren’t necessarily accurate!
