the lord looks at the heart

But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees:  man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." - Samuel 16:7

Isn't that just like God. He sees past all the ways we cover ourselves up and peeks into the core of who we are. He sees all of the wonderful things he created us for. He also sees some of the things we're not so proud of. All that, he sees, and he still loves us the same. Do you believe that today?
