“Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.”
Jesus has never been concerned with the outward appearance of people. While doing His ministry on this earth, Christ didn’t care if your body was covered in boils or if you wore the finest robes. He’d didn’t care if you had an issue of blood or leprosy. Jesus was only concerned about what was going on on the inside – the heart. He knew that you could never judge someone just by looking at their outside. For nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them

Today, we see a lot of people with tattoos and piercings. Any given day we can observe different hairstyles, clothing choices and cultures all around us and you know what? Jesus loves them and so should we. No matter the outward choice they made, they still have purpose in the body of Christ. As believers it’s our responsibility to embrace them, stir up the gifts God gave them or help them learn of their gifts. It’s what’s inside that counts to Christ and the only way we’ll find out what’s inside a person is if we take the time to love them as God does.

Heavenly Father, forgive me for judging others that may be different than me. I know that nothing outside a person can defile them, but rather it is what comes out of a person that defiles them. Strengthen me to strengthen others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
This is my prayer
