We will always have some people who view us as plain and ordinary, perhaps even worthless. Some people focus so much on the external that they miss the beauty of the internal. We humans are far more than our outer shell \u2013 our bodies \u2013 our surface conversations. There is depth in everyone. Sometimes we just have to look harder. We are so quick to judge people or categorize people without taking the time to get to know them. Value people. Take time to get to know people. We miss out on so much as we rush through our lives. Every person has a valuable treasure on the inside. Sometimes they themselves do not even realize it. Sometimes they need others to shine a light inside so they can see the treasure that is within their soul. 2 Corinthians 4:7 tells us that we are like jars of clay that hold a valuable treasure. The word translated as \u2018jars of clay\u2019 is \u2018ostrakinos\u2019 from \u2018ostrakon\u2019 which means oyster. An oyster is not necessarily a thing of beauty; however, the valuable pearl is found within. To find the pearl, one must look inside the oyster.
