I Samuel 16:7 “…the Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Everyday we see people and make snap judgements about them, whether it’s correct or not, simply by how they look. Our first impression holds much weight in how we perceive others. It’s so wonderful then, that God doesn’t look at our crusty exteriors, but at our hearts. He searches and knows the secrets of our hearts and who we really are deep down inside. The God of all knowledge understands and knows us intimately…and yet loves us still.

  1. I am so thankful for for His forgiveness and love. Continuous prayer for right thinking and understanding of others through His eyes means so much when He grants me this. He fills me with love and compassion, empathy and love when i would otherwise be critical and judgmental. Praise HIM!
