POINTS OF WHAT I LEARNED.
I learned that inner quality is more important than the outward appearance. God does not focus on our outward appearance. It is what is on the inside that matters most to Him. The bible tells us that God's focus is on developing our inner beauty so that it can be reflected in everything we do and what we are. Outward appearance is not the best way to judge how good a person is. We should learn to see other people the way God sees them. It does not matter how pretty or handsome a person is on the outside;if they are selfish,greedy, unkind or dishonest,they are not beautiful. It is a terrible burden to be attractive on the outside, but to lack the inner beauty which comes from faith in God. We should remember that God looks at the heart and He loves us no matter how we look. We should not focus on our outward appearance, instead it should be that of our inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and a quiet spirit which is of great worth in God's sight (1peter 3:3-4).
We should know that when we look at people,we can only see what is on the outside, but it is only God who can see what is inside and it is what is inside that counts. We can tell how people look, but God is the only one who can tell what they are. God is the only one who sees the thoughts and intents of our heart. God X-rays our hearts and look for holiness and goodness. God does not look at how beautiful we are or how strong our bodies look. God looks at the true beauty which is within. It is our relationship with God that is important.
No matter how a person look,we should help them when we have the opportunity. We should treat everyone equally whether rich or poor. When we are able to help people,it feels good because it is better to give than to receive. We should not discriminate people because God does not discriminate. We should not be partial to people or discriminate them because we all are equal before God. Doing good is our obligation from God. We have no other goal than to do good.
FORMAL BELIEF.
No contrary belief.
HOW DOES THE STUDY AFFECT ME.
The study has taught me that our priority should be on our inward appearance and not our physical beauty.
Thanks be to God.

Thanks be to God for listening on our meeting.
MCGI Cares (Hive) community's main mission is to share the words of God, not the Hive upvotes. If we get upvotes, please treat it as just a bonus. Do not focus mainly on material things as the bible is teaching us not to look at things seen but rather focus our eyes on things not seen.
II CORINTHIANS 4:18
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
