don't judge book by its cover?

Recently I studied Joshua and I think this is the second time I read the same chapter. In Joshua 2 we see that Rahab lied about the spies were hiding in her place. This time I was so curious about why she lied, I searched a lot of things on the internet, and finally I found it, but that's not the point.

When you see the whole story, it's not about Rahab's lie, it's about the spies! It's about how God is so good to provide Rahab who can give them place to hide, I can't wonder if they find another person who wouldn't sacrifice themselves.

People tend to do the same thing to anything. Imagine a beautiful girl, from here we can see her as a perfect image, and then when she speaks, something bad happen, you smell something from other world. And then you start talking with your friend about her mouth and stuff, instead of talking about her beauty and so on.

That's what I just felt last night, actually it was a simple thing, when someone countered my argument about joyful. Actually I really want to counter back, but there's something inside of me that told me not to. I learn how to see other's perspective from the positive side and when it's already so crucial, it's not ethic to tell it in front of public.

Sometimes people think they're the best, they know all things, but at the point when they think they know all, actually they know nothing. But still, it's not my right to judge anybody when you don't know anything about other people's mind.

Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his

sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes

of him with whom we have to do. (Hebrew 4:13)

People also tend to hide their weakness afraid of disapproval from others. But one thing is no one's perfect. We can see people only from their outer layer, and only God can judge all of us. Because God doesn't see our appearance, He sees our heart. =]
