For the Lord does not see as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16: 7b

Have you noticed that some people never seem to move beyond where you have been, even though you have long since moved on? That’s ok, as long as you do not allow yourself to go back to where you have been, but step out in faith to where God wants you to be, and continually show others that the old things in your life have passed away and you are born again; that you are a new creation, born of God; that your past is not an indication of where you are going, but a symbol to remind you of how far you have come by faith, and by faith you will go farther. God has a plan for your life and mine. God works in mysterious ways to bring it to pass. God said he will make every crooked path straight in your life and mine, because he knew beforehand, that the road we may have to travel will not always be straight, so, you keep pressing on with faith believing, walk worthy of the calling to which you were called, do not allow negative thoughts or negative people to keep you from experiencing the good things God has ordained for you, for while man is looking at your outward appearance, God is looking at your heart. Praise the Lord!
