Man does not see what the Lord sees, for man sees what is visible, but the Lord sees the heart.
1 Samuel 16:Seven
The world sees you as you appear to be; God sees you as you really are. He sees your heart, and He understands your intentions. The opinions of others should be relatively unimportant to you; however, God's view of you-His understanding of you actions, your thoughts and your motivations - should be vitally important.
Few things in life are more futile than "keeping up appearances" in order to impress others. Social media would have you believe that everything depends on the color of your skin, how you dress or your living conditions. But non of this is really important. What's truly important is how we are living for God and that our intentions are pure and reflect His nature. There is nothing going on outside of us that makes us important to God. God is not impress by what we do. He's impress by who we are and who we are becoming. And when we choose to live our lives from the heart level, we can bring change to what surrounds us.
The best gift in life is to remove who the world defines you as and become the person God always said you were.
Today's heirvotional question.
Can you see yourself the way God sees you?
