“The LORD doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”—1 Samuel 16:7b (NLT)
Omniscient LORD,
Save me from the shallowness of judging other people based on their outward appearance—by helping me to see their hearts through Your eyes of love.
I don’t want to be that
person who makes snap judgments about others based on what he sees on the surface—discounting
another person's value by the glance of his eye.
I want to take the time to
try to understand the heart of each person that I encounter—to search out the
treasures that You have hidden there.
So help me to see what You
see, LORD—a soul worth saving, a life worth sacrificing Your only begotten Son
to redeem—and give me that kind of love for them.
Save me from the shallowness of judging other people based on their outward appearance—by helping me to see their hearts through Your eyes of love.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
