1 Sam 16: What really matters

Yes Takashi Keneshiro is one of the most good looking guy in this world...haha...at least this is what i think. But if i want to match with the description of David in 1 Sam 16, I think he would probably look more like...

Orlando Bloom....ruddy, with a fine appearance and handsome features. Well, David stands out not because of his good looks but because he was commended to be a man after God's heart. Here in this passage, Samuel by passed 7 impressive young men to be anointed as King. God was not looking for a person based on his appearance or height coz that's what people look at usually...the outward appearance. But God looks at the heart. David is sure not a perfect guys coz he failed in many ways too; adultery,deceit and even murder. But yet, David was God's anointed one not because of how he looks but just because he had a heart that is so true to God and is willing to repent without justifying himself when he is wrong.

Today, when God looks into my heart, what does He see? I know He is not looking at my talents, abilities or success. He is looking at where I have placed Him in this heart of mine. I sure hope God is not disappointed with what He sees in me.
