John Hockenberry is journalist, who has been at the volcano of Mt. St. Helens, worked the war in Afghanistan, and the Middle East. He has been present at wars and revolutions. He was in the middle of a mess in the Gaza strip, when there was violence between the Palestinians and the Israelis.
The interesting thing about this is that John was present at all of these events... in a wheelchair. He has been there since he was 19, when he and a friend were involved in a car wreck, after the man they had hitched a ride with fell asleep at the wheel and flipped the car.
John is recognized as a great journalist and has worked for such networks as National Public Radio and ABC. You see, it's not the appearance of the man that is important; it's what is in his heart.
Fortunately, the Lord knows this. Often, we judge a person by the external. Not God.
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" (I Sam. 16:7.)
