But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”
This verse has popped up in my life recently so I was very excited when Ally suggested it for this week. There are so many situations when people, especially Christians judge someone based on how they look or their outside persona, but this shouldn't be. I notice that a lot of times "Christians" put on a church act, pretending like they love Jesus and we can look up to each other, thinking, "I wish I was like that" when really we couldn't give a hoot about God.
It is a very sticky line when we judge someone, in a positive or negative way, so something I am going to try to pray for is the will power not to label someone instantly, just by what they are showing the world.
