Strive to See What Jesus Sees

Another great truth I learned in Bible class starts with the verse, "for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart" 1 Samuel 16:7. Every day we go through life always judging people for what they look like or how they act. It is something we do because we are all sinners and we are not perfect, but as Christians it is important that we become more like Jesus and try hard to see how Jesus sees. Since God is the one who made us all it is easy for Him to look in our hearts because He knows everything and can do anything. For us though it can be hard. A lot of the times when we make friends it is because we choose friends based on how they look or act. From knowing this truth we should ask God to hep us to get to know people for what they are like on the inside and spend time really getting to know who they are inside. Only God can help us become more like Him and not be judgemental.
