But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7) Praise God for this truth! Many times after people get to know me, they say; “Man, when I first meant you I was intimated” or “I didn’t think you were going to be a very nice guy” or my favorite, “You don’t look like a Christian” (Not sure what that looks like) Praise be to God they took a chance and got to know me. Many times I am guilty of the same judgement. We don’t see others the way God does. But we must look at them as they are – also a child of God and treat them with the same respect and love as brothers and sisters you know that are in Christ. Love doesn’t care how you look. It is just love – the most powerful weapon against judgement that God gave us. God Loves Ya 😉
