What does it mean to have a heart renewed, a “facelift” that goes beyond outward appearance? In this message, we are challenged to examine the hidden attitudes that shape how we see and treat others. Favoritism—a preference for the wealthy, the influential, or the popular—is more than a social flaw; it reveals the fractures in our faith. God, who shows no partiality, calls us to mirror His mercy, fairness, and love in every encounter.

True faith transforms not just our words but our vision. When we treat the overlooked, the poor, or the marginalized with the same respect we give to those with status, we demonstrate a faith anchored in grace rather than judgment. The royal law—to love our neighbor as ourselves—is not optional; it is the standard by which our hearts are measured. Every act of mercy, every step away from favoritism, reshapes us and reflects Christ to a watching world.

As believers, our witness is more than sermons or service—it is the way we elevate others, the way we extend dignity to those often ignored. When our hearts are aligned with God’s, our faith becomes visible in how we lift the faces of others, offering encouragement, compassion, and respect. How might your perspective change if you began to see every person through the eyes of divine mercy, free from bias, and full of love?
