Your Worth Is Not In The Expensiveness Of What You Wear

Most times, Appearance shows the manner but not the worth of a person. How do I mean? I mean that, your appearance is not your worth.
     Sometime ago, during my primary school days, a group of people came to my school to educate us about healthy diet/nutrition, they came with a lot of gifts like tooth brush, blue band(bread spread) etc.to be given to pupils who correctly answered their questions. But it's a thing of surprise that ninety percent (90%) of the gifts they gave that day went to two kids of the same parents who appeared in rough school uniform with no school sandals not even slippers. They should be considered poor because of their appearance but richest because of the value (of intelligence and brilliance) they carried. Your value is not in what you wear.
     It is true that our dressing and our appearance have a long way to go in identifying who we are. But is not also a lie that what you wear is not synonymous to the value you carry. What you carry is not in the expensiveness or attractiveness of what you wear.
       You might appear like a pauper because of what you put on your body, but what about all the value you've planted into your soul? They are enough to get you the respect you deserve.
       Though, appearing in an expensive apparel is never a crime. In fact it is good if you are capable. But the question is, can expensive materials things/apparel buy you all the respect you deserve? No!
       Ironically, many people dump their self-worth, value and dignity at the feet of the most expensive wears. A lot are trading their future, the future of their children for clothes, weavons, shoes, cars and material things that will fade out in no time. Whereas those who can afford the most expensive materials by pass it to lay their all at the feet of value and value added materials.
         My appeal, instead of investing your all on expensive perishable things, invest in your soul and eternal value.
 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. (Luke12:15)
