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<p>God looks at our heart. This can be a life-changing revelation for so many people.<\/p>\n<p>We tend to look at ourselves and others and judge by what we see. It&#8217;s a natural thing to do, since we can&#8217;t see the heart of a person unless we spend time with them and get to know them.<\/p>\n<p>God chose David to be king over His people. Why? Because He knew David&#8217;s heart was set on pleasing Him. The Word says that David was a man after God&#8217;s own heart!<\/p>\n<p>He could have chosen someone greater in stature. But stature doesn&#8217;t matter to God. Stature is just a physical attribute. It doesn&#8217;t make us who we are. Our heart and what&#8217;s in it makes us who we are.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s in our heart? When God looks at us, what does He see?<\/p>\n<p>Does He see a heart that longs after Him? Or does He see a heart that is divided in its loyalties?<\/p>\n<p>Only we can determine what our heart contains. Only we can decide where our loyalties lie.<\/p>\n<p>Let us determine in our hearts to seek after God with everything in us. Then we will know without a doubt what God sees when He looks at our heart.<\/p>\n<p>Pastor Curt &amp; Pastor Ellie<\/p>\n<p>Seven Seas Ministries<br \/>\nP.O.
