Did you ever notice when people are angry that they are not pretty?

They clench their jaws, their veins pop out and  no matter how beautiful or handsome they are when not angry, ugly takes precedence when they are.

In Genesis 4 there is an account of Cain and Abel and apparently Cain had his “ugly” on because God said first, “Why are you so angry?” Then He followed that with, “Why do you look so dejected?”

I think dejected may be God’s way of saying ugly.

Then God lays out a plan for escaping ugly and returning to normalcy and He gives it straight up to Cain. “You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right,then watch out!”

Okay now let me break it down for you.

If you don’t do what is right, you become angry and then you end up looking ugly.

If you choose to do what is right you can be happy and remain beautiful.

I don’t know about you but ugly does NOT look good on me. 🙂
