First impressions

Speaking of music and its power (as I talked about yesterday)I can across an incredible music video by Susan Boyle.

Susan lives in England and is 47 years old. She presented herself on the English version of American Idol.

Once again, it shows that we can't "judge a book by its cover". First Impressions aren't always correct.

1 Samuel 16:7 states, "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."

In this "you tube" video, it shows Susan introduced, and as she is standing there ready to sing, you can actually see the audience sneer in derision and disdain.

Judging. Looking at the outward appearance. Making a critical call without even giving the person a chance.

Watch the video at the address below and then after you pick yourself up from the floor in amazement - let's all remember the old cliche: "It's not what's on the outside that counts but what's on the inside."

One more thing: "Anonymous" asked the other day about, "what does it mean to connect with Christ."

It means "beginning a relationship with Jesus by realizing that we are in need of God, that only God can forgive me for my sins, and asking Him to come into my life by saying a prayer of repentance." Simple but powerful.
