The LORD does not look at the things man looks at.  Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.  1 Samuel 16:7 NIV

One of the great joys in our life is when we feel something that touches the very heart of our being.  The life of God's grace is that it takes a belief in God from the academic into a relationship with him that touches the very soul of who we are. We are a new creation in Christ Jesus.  2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV.  Grace through Jesus Christ impacts our heart like nothing else can. What is natural to grace is that our emotions become new to express love, kindness and encouragement without the feeling of any awkwardness.  Here our marriage, our children, our church"s and our relationships can be refreshed in ways that give us the desire to rejoice in our Lord. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at.  Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart. Today has been given to you as a gift from the Lord, may you enjoy your life in his grace.  Be willing to give God’s grace the freedom to bring rejoicing to your heart and you will find yourself renewed, refreshed and reinvigorated.  Enjoy!
