David, a man after God's heart

God judges by faith and character, not appearances like we do. Only God can see the inside, only He can accurately judge people.

I think back on this because last night at the grocery store the cashier was complaining about his girlfriend, and how "high maintenance" she is. I replied with I'm sorry, I'm glad i don't worry about it too much. But then he says to me, "You look like you are high maintenance." I was offended. Here he was complaining about how long hi girlfriend takes to get ready, how much products she uses in her hair, and how if her clothes aren't name brand she won't wear them. That is the total opposite of myself. At the time I was wearing jeans and a white v neck. My hair was in a messy bun, and I was wearing minimal make-up. This boy doesn't know me, he sees my appearance and then throws out an accusation.

"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)

Some people spend countless amounts of hours and time on there outward appearance. We should do even more to develop our inner character. Everyone can see your face, but only God can see your heart, and what it really looks like.

i am after HIS heart. and HIS desire for me.
