“But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.””
1 Samuel 16:7 NIV
Livia reminded us this morning that God does not look at us on the outside, but rather the inside. The gentleness of Jesus is so beautiful. The way He can read our hearts and dissect our souls with such care flows with such goodness and sincerity.
Unfortunately people are hurt by other people. We have among us those literally not loved or wanted and those who have ceased to grow because someone stopped believing in them. Jesus' compassion for us awakens us to lift our eyes from the empty words and selfish hand of others to see ourselves as HE sees us.
He knows you , He sees you and He loves you. Take heart.
