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

 One of the beautiful things along our journey through life is when we feel something with all our heart, something that touches the very fiber of our being.  The beauty of God's grace is that it takes our belief in the Lord from the academic into a relationship with him that touches the very soul of who we are.  Grace impacts our heart like nothing else can and in this place our emotions become free to express love, kindness and encouragement without the feeling of embarrassment.  Here our marriage, our children and our relationships are refreshed in ways that cause us to praise and give thanks to the Lord.  Today has been given to you as a gift from the Lord, may you enjoy this freedom of his grace.  Let your heart be refreshed and encouraged along this new journey and let him give to you the desires of your heart as you delight yourself in his grace.   Enjoy!
