First Impressions

Hi,
 
Perhaps you have heard a similar story; a story about how years ago, a man went into a fried chicken place and bought a couple of chicken dinners for himself and his date. But instead of chicken, the young woman at the counter inadvertently gave him the proceeds from the day—a whole bag of money.
 
After driving to their picnic site, the two sat down to enjoy their meal. But they discovered a whole lot more than chicken—over $800! So the man quickly put the money back in the bag, got in the car, and drove all the way back to the restaurant
 
The manager was thrilled to death. He said, “Oh, great! I’m gonna have your picture put in the local newspaper. You’re the most honest man I’ve ever met!” So the man quickly responded, “Oh no, don’t do that!” Then he leaned closer and whispered, “You see, the woman I’m with is not my wife... she’s somebody else’s.”

Now I’ll bet that you absolutely loved this man up until the last sentence. And now, you probably think he’s a sleazebag! Isn’t it amazing in some cases,  what can happen to our impressions of people once we know the full story? 

What can we as Christians learn from such a story? 

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God:  because many false prophets are gone out into the world."  1 John 4:1

To be able to do this, we must study, pray and know the word of God.  Be blessed today, and never forget that you are loved!!!
 
Henry
