7
But the Lord said
unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his
stature; because I have refused him: for the
Lord
seeth not
as man seeth;
for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord
looketh
on the heart.
Sonnet
701 1 Samuel 16:7
There
seems to be a market for good looks
There's
lotions and there's potions and there's gels
There's
surgery enough to fill up books
And
it seems like almost any option sells.
Add
in tattoos and liposuction too
And
jewelry and wigs and botox shots
And
there is almost nothing we won't do
To
change appearances that life allots.
Does
anyone remember in this haste
To
mutilate with plastic body art
That
God is unimpressed with such a waste
His
vision being focused on the heart.
Don't
fret or worship at your looking glass
It
didn't come to stay, it came to pass.
