A Vision of Grace






When you think of a swan you normally associate them with grace and beauty as you admire their pure white coat of feathers and graceful presence. But, in this photo, do you see grace? This swan has it's pure silky coat and carries with it the presence of grace despite the large bump on it's beak.

I love this picture because this swan still symbolizes grace even though we may not perceive it by how it looks. This also reminds me of a piece of scripture of how God was instructing Samuel not to judge others by appearance:


"But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him.
For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
 (1 Samuel 16:7)

Don't be intimated by how other people perceive you, it's what's on the inside that matters most.
