Topic: Not Like Men Do
Text: 1 Samuel 16:7b
“The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” Amen
Your Creator can see things in you that other people cannot see. Sometimes people will try to push you down or make you feel insignificant. Sometimes our own thoughts will try to convince us that we don’t measure up.
But God looks beyond the surface, beyond the mistakes you’ve made, beyond what somebody said about you and sees your incredible value. You may think I’ve messed up. I have blown it. I have failed. I’m all washed up.” No, God still sees more in you.
God doesn’t just see what you are; He sees what you can become. You may have made some mistakes, but God still sees victory on the inside of you. People may have tried to push you down, but God sees you rising higher.
Now, you’ve got to do your part and get rid of those condemning thoughts. Get rid of what somebody has spoken over you and start renewing your mind. In your inner-self, start believing that you are redeemed, restored, talented and valuable. Begin to pray!
