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

Here we find something no one has the power to do, but our LORD alone. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart. The power 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.  Grace through Jesus Christ impacts our heart like nothing else can. What is natural to grace is that our emotions become new, so that love, kindness and encouragement  become natural to us without the feeling of any awkwardness.  Here our marriage, our children and our relationships are refreshed in ways that give us the desire to express joy and thanksgiving to 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. Humble your heart and give God’s grace the freedom to bring rejoicing to your emotions! His grace will bring the look of joy to your face and to the sound in your words! You will find yourself in a very good place.  Enjoy!
