Bananas

Imagine being the first person to discover bananas.  You pull the fruit down from a tree and take a bite of the peel.  Such a bitter, awful flavor.  What if you didn’t know that there was something wonderful underneath that skin, and you threw that banana onto the ground?  You would be missing out on such a sweet, delicious taste.

I think we do that sometimes with people.  We see the outside and decide what the inside must be like.  Or we give someone one chance, and it doesn’t have great results, so we “throw them away”.  We don’t realize that there is something beautiful underneath, if we just take the time to find it.
