Man looks upon the face, the hair
Our stature and the clothes we wear
We cannot see the hidden part
For only God looks on the heart
We judge a man by what we see
Of pride or of humility
And we may fool with careful art
The eyes that cannot see the heart
But fools will trust a fool’s disguise
Forgetting that the true man lies
Not in appearance’s vain part
But in the measure of the heart
We look upon the face, the hair
Our stature and the clothes we wear
But God sees far beyond the skin
For He beholds the heart within

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 Sam. 16:7

ReplyDeleteTim, isn't that picture worth a thousand words?:)
