That is really true. The world would look at us from the outside, but the Lord is all-knowing and all-powerful, He looks at us from the inside. So that's why we are not only judged by our actions, we are also being judged by our every single thoughts. Blessings! @stepbie
One time I happened on to a short dirty old bag lady, no kidding, she was stuck upside down in a trash barrel. After I pulled her out she was still hanging on to the aluminum cans she had found. She thanked me and then explained that she had a Sunday school class where her kids are too poor to buy pencils and paper. So she recycles trash and buys them what they need.
Suddenly I saw her the way God sees her, in my mind this dirty old lady turned into a beautiful princess with a long flowing pink dress bordered by sparkling jewels with a crown on her head! And just as quickly it was back to the dirty old lady heading to another trash barrel for her kids.
So Amen to your comment!!! Blessings! Upvoted and following!
I really think part of our every day prayer is to ask God to give us the courage and His lens to see the world He loves, and to see through the physical appearances of people. Everything is about the perspectives. Blessings!
