Priorities are determined by values.

The people of today would rather stand next to a man with no substance but covered in gold, rather than the man with substance and wisdom of gold. What if God was dressed as a carpenter with dirty nails and beaten boots? Would you recognize your Maker? Would you give him your time? Your vote? A cup of tea or water? Only those with truth in them will recognize truth. And you must learn to recognize all that is untrue to get the truth.

Beware of those who are too focused with polishing and beautifying their outer shells. They lack true substance to understand that genuine beauty is reflected from the heart that resides inside.

Always judge a man by the coloring of his heart and only his heart. Truth can be found in his record of actions, not intentions.

To know the good from the bad, measure the heart. Actions reveal the true coloring of one's heart, not their intentions.
