Outward Packaging Doesn't Matter

We can get caught up in outward appearances and "packaging." When Paul was called Saul (his Hebrew name), he was one of the biggest critics of Christians. Even murdering them. When he started to go by his gentile name, Paul, he was still seen as this man who murdered and lashed out at followers of Jesus. But it wasn't the outward packaging that mattered. He still looked like the same man, but a change happened on the inside of him. What was on the inside of him was good. God sees your heart. He knows that although you may appear rough around the edges on the outside, what is on the inside of you is good.
