What God Sees in You

 1 Samuel 16:7b “The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

 Sometimes God’s ‘ask’ seems impossible for us. But God does not ask you to do anything, to take on any task or responsibilities that you cannot do with God’s help.

 If you judge your capabilities using the standards the world uses, you may feel inadequate to the task. Perhaps on your own you are. But when God chooses you, anoints your head as God’s servant, you will find the courage and strength to accomplish God’s call.

 Doing God’s will is rarely easy or ‘fun’ in the worldly sense.  Yet faithfully doing God’s will brings rewards that the world cannot offer.

 What does God see in you that the world does not see? Your heart. Your heart for God’s people. Your heart for the disenfranchised, the lonely, the mourners, the little children.

 If God is calling you into a new or a difficult role of service examine your heart.

 Saying ‘yes’ to God means ‘putting your heart’ into the call. God knows the strength of your heart. Do you?
