I enjoyed this article very much! My husband and I have been in youth ministry for 9 years! Just this Sunday a visitor walked into my SS class and I'm afraid I judged her by her appearance:( Boy, was I WRONG!!!!! Nikki’s last blog post..Menu Plan Monday ~ July 13

I knew who you were writing about before I even read his name. He is a sweet boy. When I saw that pic I took a second look thinking….NO WAY. He didn’t cut his hair! Plus he wouldn’t be caught dead in that outfit. ROFL.
Thanks for the words, sweet friend. ♥

There is a difference between “judging” and “discerning". - that is so, so, true! Thank you for the reminder. Serene in Singapore’s last blog post..How I Became A Christian

Our youth group is filled with many of those long haired band t-shirt wearing boys, and ya know what? They love the Lord with all hearts!! ) They are encouragers, leaders, humble, teachable, and servants of the most High God and guess what else? Some of them are Pastors kids……gasp!! ;o)
Seriously though, I loved your post and though I try not to judge people by their looks the Lord often nudges me, yet again. Thanks for the reminder today. )

I have one of those smart, wonderful, fantastic LONG-haired teenagers who wears band shirts, and even now there are people in our support group who are judging him and his friend because of their long-hair. Which is, apparently, not Christ-like. Long-hair, I mean. Judging one's appearance is, apparently, acceptable. Gosh, I can't imagine why so many people call us Christians hypocritical! Glad you opened your heart to this boy. Sarah at SmallWorld’s last blog post..Weekly Wrap-Up

That was beautiful. I, as well as my children, have been judged by so many people…on topics from homeschooling, hair dos, music choices, to shows that we watch on television.
I love what God revealed to you, and I love that you shared it with us.
I am a visual learner, so the image of your books on the shelves without covers really grabbed me.
Have a blessed day!
In Christ,

Excellent. This topic is on my heart continuously right now. We are about to head into missions, which requires the us vs. them attitude, which I’ve carried around for much of my Christian life, to be banished . Thankfully, God is doing just this!

Blessings,
Laura

My friends and my family are so unique and different that I rarely judge anyone by their looks . BUT I am with you on this one because when it happens it happens without thought or warning. And now that you have me thinking about it – I did something similar the other day. The only way to avoid the judging is to be covered in prayer so that you can discern the situation and the person and even then it must be done in love!
