1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV) 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, \u201cDo not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

For most people, appearance says a lot. It is how they judge a person; by what they have, how they carry themselves, or how they dress.<\/p>\n

If we could only get this understanding; it is what\u2019s in the heart of a man or woman that makes them who they are.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t see a person’s heart as God does. But we can<\/i> know someone’s heart, or even our own heart to some degree.<\/p>\n

How?<\/p>\n

By listening to what is said.<\/p>\n

Matthew 15:18 (NKJV) 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man<\/span>.<\/p>\n

A person’s words will speak volumes. We will hear what is in their heart if we listen when they speak.<\/p>\n

It is the same with our own heart. If we listen to ourselves and what we say, we will hear what is in our heart as well.<\/p>\n

The things we have in there that are good, we will hear them come out. And the things that need correcting and adjusting, they will show up as well.<\/p>\n

We must stop looking at the appearance of someone and deciding who they are or what they are about.<\/p>\n

Listening will show us what they are all about.<\/p>\n

Some people may look like they don’t have much if we judge them by their appearance. But in their heart they may be rich in love and wisdom.<\/p>\n
