Does God prefer polyester or denim?

**Joyce Meyer

I used to be so judgmental about the way some people dresses. Not long ago, I thought that I could not wear jeans while I was teaching at a conference, but my son said to me, "Do you really think that God anoints polyester more than denim?

It took some things like that to shock me into the realization that I was just holding on to a religious attitude when God wanted me to freshen up my look in order to reach more people.

Sure, it is good to dress nicely when we go to church. But the bottom line is, we should not be so focused on our outward appearance that we lose sight of our main goal: developing a close, personal relationship with God. 

God simply wants us to fellowship with Him, which means communicating with Him throughout our day just like we do with someone who is our close friend or family member. He does not care about the outward appearance, only real relationship.

Spend time with Him, being grateful for what He has done and is doing in your life. Have a real relationship with Him.

Prayer starter: God, help me to have You attitude about outward appearance. Help me not to judge others who do not dress the way I think they should, and help me to develop a strong inner relationship with You.

1 Samuel 16:7

But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
