We sometimes look at life through the wrong perspective. We hear the comments of others who say, "She's this and he's that..." Then, when we meet that person, we see them framed in the comments and opinions of the people around us.
It is not fair to have such opinions.
Instead of seeing people in light of other's opinions, God invites us to see people through the blood of Christ. Instead of giving in to the pressure to simply agree, God invites us to stand firm in the power of the Holy Spirit. Instead of living in the "love me first" attitude of the world God invites us to reach others with His heart and love.
1 Samuel 16:7
For God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the
outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
