In my last post I spoke of an incredibly gifted young man with a amazing voice. But that isn't the whole story.
This young man and his good friend stepped out on to the stage in Britain's Got Talent and received a less than stellar welcome. The young man struggles with weight and tends to be shy. He is not a looker and thus did not immediately draw any eyes.
Till he opened his mouth. Then the audience saw a measure of who he really was beneath the shell. The young man and his partner received a standing ovation from everyone including the judges.
Brothers and Sisters, these skins of ours, these shells are our outer appearance and nothing more. They do not dictate the person inside or the gifts that the GOD of all creation bestowed upon us.
Let me drill home the point and make it clear.
He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
This passage was spoken by Isaiah(Isa 53:2-3, NIV) in regards to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. That ought to give you a clue about how GOD feels about shells.
Ask GOD to show you people the way HE sees them. You will discover wonders unseen to the naked eye.
