‘But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”’
I Samuel 16:7
I’m learning.
And.
God.
Has been.
Teaching me.
That.
He.
Does not.
Care about.
What.
Man.
Cares about.
Because.
His focus.
Is.
On.
Our hearts!
Look.
If we.
Spent.
The same.
Amount.
Of.
Time.
Seeking.
The Lord.
And.
Chasing.
After.
His heart.
‘And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. ‘
Jeremiah 29:13
As.
We do.
Chasing.
Worldly.
Desires.
Our.
Homes.
Communities.
And.
Churches.
Would be.
Better.
However.
It saddens.
Me.
To see.
That we.
Chase.
The.
Desires.
Of.
Our hearts.
Rather.
Than.
The Lord’s heart!
‘My son, give me your heart, And let your eyes observe my ways.’
Proverbs 23:26
Just.
Because.
You’re.
Physically.
Fit.
Doesn’t mean.
You’re saved!
‘For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. ‘
I Timothy 4:8
Or.
Just.
Because.
You’re beautiful.
On.
The outside.
Doesn’t mean.
You have.
Peace.
On.
The inside.
‘Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. ‘
I Peter 3:3-4
I pray.
That you.
Stop.
Playing around.
And.
Get serious.
About.
Your walk.
With.
Jesus.
The Christ.
Before.
It’s too.
Late!
It’s time.
To.
Stop.
Caring about.
Your outward.
Appearance.
Only.
And.
Give.
The Lord.
Your heart!
I love you!
And.
I pray your day is blessed!
In Jesus name, Amen!
