Spots
‘n wrinkles by The
world we live in is all about marketing – making things look good, with the
assumption that things are first-class! Fruit,
particularly, is promoted as looking and tasting wonderful. Bananas are golden yellow, lemons have
perfect skin with even colour, mandarins have tight
skins with lots of juice.
Lemons usually
have the best flavour when they have rough skin. In The best
mandarins, I have noted, are the ones filled with air between the skin and
the fruit, more likely to be filled with lots of juice and fewer strings. The
moral of the story - wrinkles and spots often hide experience, wisdom and
care that have been developed over many years, and are incredibly
valuable! As God says, “Men judge by outward appearance, but
I look at a man’s thoughts and intentions.”
1 Samuel 16:7b TODAY, look deeper than the spots and wrinkles!
