TOTD, April 26

See As God Sees

People tend to look at the exterior. God sees the inside. He sees the possibilities. Unless we are trained by God as we read His Word and allow His Spirit to work the Word in us to see beyond what can be perceived with the natural eye, we will always live with judgment in our hearts. Judgment can cause us to miss seeing all the beauty that lay just below the surface.

Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.
--- 2 Corinthians 4:18


My own reflection on this Thought:
* This world looks at the exterior. If we see Beyonce, her beauty, her body, makes some of the women feel inferior. We don't have any confidence since we're not as beautiful as her.
It applies the same for the guys, let say they can't compare themselves with George Clooney or Keanu Reeves.
But, while this world is chasing all that temporal beauty, God sees deep inside.
God loves us just the way we are, because He has already created us perfectly in His Opinion.
Can we become more like Him? Can we be less judgemental towards others? (because to be compared or to be judged is painful, you know about that...).
See as God sees, that's our aim ... (-fon-)
