"Forever ❌"

And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 

Mark 5:25 KJV 

She had an issue, she was NOT the issue she had...That alone is something to really think about.

How many times have we been guilty of judging someone based on what they're struggling with, based on the issue they have?

And In doing so, I wonder how many times we have unknowingly missed out on really getting to know someone who was truly beautiful?

A beautiful person who very well could have been a blessing to our lives had we allowed them to be,  allowed them to be themselves aside from their struggle, aside from their issue.

So thankful God is NOT like man...He's not judgmental like us, but God gives us all a chance by CHOOSING to look at our hearts and NOT what's on the outside; out there, available to the public for public criticism.

1 Samuel 16:7

Because the truth is, We have all been flawed by life in some way or another; causing us to NOT be the best judge of character. 

1 Samuel 16: 

Look at how quickly Samuel misjudged Eliab and was ready to promote him into a position that God had NOT approved.

But notice also how quickly God checked Samuel and let him know:

In spite of what you're looking at and think you see in Eliab...He is NOT the one. He has NOT been chosen.

God had chosen David:

• David-The one who had an issue with people and was more comfortable out in the field tending to His father's sheep.

• David-The one who struggled with being the "black sheep" of the family.

• The one who they looked at as an outsider. 

• The one who had to fight off the attacks of lions & bears daily.

That's the one God chose. 

Imagine who you and I would chose to befriend, if we could really see what God sees.

So, From now on let US make a decision NOT to judge a person just because we know their issue, or  heard about what they're struggling with. 

It's impossible to google a person's heart....

Some info ONLY God can provide, and God chose David, NOT Eliab.

Think About It‼

Shout Out: To All the beautiful people struggling with an issue.
