But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. (1 Samuel 16: 6-7 KJV biblegateway.com) Samuel, the prophet, was sent by GOD to anoint the next king of Israel. Samuel saw seven of Jesse’s sons before anointing David to become king. David was the youngest. He kept the sheep. GOD let Samuel know that David was the one. The Bible speaks of how we are not to treat those who are dressed nicely with regard, while making those who are poorly dressed take the lesser seat. (see James 2:3) [On a radio ministry a statement was made concerning the cruelty that was placed upon a Christian albino, in another country, by witch doctors, because they believed that she was evil.] Natural beauty does not determine whether we are kind to others. Let us view people with eyes of love. Let us view people as GOD does. In JESUS’ Name. Amen.
