Man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7

Are you not thankful that God has a clear view of your heart and therefore will not judge you as man does? God will judge you from the heart, but man judges you from your outward appearance, and that is why so many try to please others by showing them a good face, but, we  read in Luke 16:15, He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.”  Men will judge you at face value, and they accept you because of your stature, but if only they could see a glimpse of the heart, they too will find you detestable, for Scripture also reminds us that the secret things we do are an abomination unto the Lord, and many still don’t perceive them as wrong, because Proverbs 16:2 reminds us, that, all a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the LORD. The Lord who searches the mind will reward everyone according to their deeds. Lord, the abominable sins which we hide in our hearts, cleanse us from these hidden faults, and help us to do only always, what is pleasing in your sight, so that even when a man judges us wrongly on the outside, that you will judge us from the heart. Amen!
