When you look in the mirror do you like what you see? I suspect not. I say that purely based on statistics, not because I know you well enough to make that judgment. You see Australians spend over $25 billion dollars on beauty products every year! Then we spend another $25 billion per year on clothes! In fact, Australians buy more clothes per person than anyone else in the world! And, every year, 200,000 tonnes of the clothing we buy ends up in landfill!

And, in the end, despite all the skin products we apply and all the fashion items we adorn ourselves with we too eventually return to dust. So maybe there is something more important than what we see in the mirror? Maybe there’s something more important than what we think of ourselves? Maybe there’s something more important than what others think of us? And maybe that something is more than skin deep?

Two pairs of glasses:

Weak, suffering, ungodly, sinful, enemies = Despised.

Weak, suffering, ungodly, sinful, enemies = Loved.

Which pair of glasses do you think God wears?
