Appearances

The Lord has made it clear that He will not be fooled by appearances, and He has warned us not to be false to Him or to others. He has cautioned us to be wary of those who project a false front, who put on a bright pretense that hides a darker reality. We know that the Lord "looketh on the heart" and not on the "outward appearance." Joseph B. Wirthlin, "'True to the Truth'," Ensign, May 1997, 15
