Our culture often celebrates image over integrity, but God sees deeper. Jesus warned of focusing on the outside while neglecting the heart—looking clean on the surface, yet empty within (Matt. 23). Saul looked the part of a king, but lacked the heart. David, overlooked and underestimated, was chosen because of what God saw inside. True identity isn’t about appearance, status, or polish—it’s about authenticity, humility, and a heart after God. The world may see the shell, but God treasures the soul. Don’t chase the image—let God shape the heart.
