Outward Appearances

The most handsome man has a heart that beats.  The most beautiful lady has a heart that beats.  The most rugged mechanic has a heart that beats.  The most fragile baby has a heart that beats.  The town bully has a heart that beats.  The most challenged person has a heart that beats.

God has no favorites.  He loves us all and He examines our motives and truthfulness.  God sees what we do not see.  What’s on the outside of a person does not guarantee the same on the inside. 

Sometimes the most comfort, peace and honesty comes from a person who may not be considered the best looking or the most popular.  Each person is loved equally by God.  Each person’s motives are examined equally by God.  Each person is a masterpiece created by God Himself. 

1 Samuel 16:7

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
