God Looks At The Heart

I hope that your day is going well so far!
I thought today I would post about my thoughts since I have been doing other posts recently and haven't gotten to just type how I feel and what I have been up to.

But anyways, recently I have been feeling very unconfident about my appearance and personality. I feel like I am always comparing myself with other people my age and wondering why I don't seem normal. I feel like I am not good enough and am always trying to please others and can't be who I really am. I just have been feeling different from others my age and don't really fit in.

God doesn't care if we are like everyone else or look like everyone else. He loves us just for who we are and sees us for who we are on the inside and doesn't look at the outer appearance.

I Samuel 16:7
"...Man looks at the outer appearance, but God looks at the heart."

This verse always reminds me that God doesn't care how I look but sees my heart and loves me just for who I am. This is so reassuring!! 

I hope that when you feel dissatisfied with who you are and compare yourself - you then can remember that God loves you just for you and doesn't care who you are or who you will become- He loves you just for who you are! 

Thanks for visiting!!

  1. This is a wonderful post--and definitely just what I needed today. I also feel very self-conscious and wishing I looked like other girls my age; wishing I looked different. But this is a perfect reminder that God doesn't care how we look on the outside, but he cares for who we are within. Thank you for posting this!!!

  3. Great post! I really needed to hear that today! I compare myself to teens my age way too much and I know that I shouldn't but should be happy with who I am and how God created me. Thanks for sharing this! It was good of you to do this! :)
