The Crooked Apple
The search was on at the grocery store ~for fresh fruit that was affordable. That was when this apple caught my eye. I decided I had to have this apple. It made me think of how others view physical deformity. Some may not buy it because of its looks. Others my pick it up and look at it~possibly with a chuckle or comment about its odd shape. But they put it back, thinking that they should choose more uniformly formed apples for their own use. Then there are people like me, who have to have it because it is different! I cut it open this morning, thinking that it would be juicy, crunchy and sweet~and I was not disappointed.
What really matters is what is on the inside. That is what counts.
Isn't that the way it is with people too?
2 Corinthians 4:16, 18b
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day...
the things which are not seen are eternal"
