What you hold in your heart toward a person—the mental framework of how you picture them—is what people react to interpersonally. If muddy people are going to respond to the mercy and grace of God in Jesus, they must feel valued by his followers, you and me. If we want to become more like Jesus than the Pharisees, we must make ourselves available to God’s Spirit to see and value those in need more than we value our own agendas.
