"But the Lord said to Samuel, 'Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
Father God, I am thankful tonight that you look at my heart. I rest in the knowledge that You know me inside and out, heart and soul, thought and deed. You know that on this very night I am tired. Weary to the very core. You know all the effort that has gone into this very day. You know the battle I have waged in focusing on You. I love that although I do not have adequate or elegant words to express my adoration and appreciation of You this evening, You know. Search my heart, teach my heart, grow my heart, protect my heart. . . all that I might live a life more pleasing to You.
