Hearts.

                            

If you have attended discos or nightclubs you will have noticed that the bouncers admit you if you are young and beautiful.

The rope excludes all others.

The values are superficial, shallow, and cruel.

But, "'the Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.'"  1 Samuel 16:7b (NRSV)

We cannot see the heart, we can only see the outward appearance.
But God knows our hearts and regards us accordingly.

God does not reject those with cruel hearts, however, because He knows that they are ruled by fear.

He always gives us another chance.

Until all are reconciled to God though Love.
