Listen from:
There are some who have made a study of the human body and can tell by the shape of one’s head what his traits and capabilities are. One such a man was giving a lecture before a group of people one night and he declared that he could tell any one’s nature by examining his head. He asked if someone would volunteer to come to the platform.
One man in the audience walked up and mounted the platform. The lecturer having examined his head quite thoroughly, declared among other things that he had an unfriendly nature.
Many in the audience laughed because they knew the man to be kind and friendly, and always looking for opportunities to help others. They decided that the lecturer had utterly failed in his examination.
However, the man turning to the audience said, “Friends, what this gentleman has said of me was exactly true once. I used to be hard, and unfriendly, just like he said, but one day I met Jesus. His love laid hold of me; He took possession of me. He has completely changed me. I have a new nature. I want to be like Him. To Him belongs all the praise!”
