21 Days to Life-Changing Confidenceનમૂનો

Looks can be deceiving. Plenty of examples in the Bible exist where people appear to be God’s chosen, but they aren’t. The Pharisees seemed godly, but Jesus called them a brood of vipers. Judas seemed to be a faithful servant, but Satan overcame him. David’s brothers seemed to have been a choice fit to be king, but God rejected them. God chose David.

In the same way, when everyone else sees what’s on the outside, God sees our hearts. God isn’t concerned with how great we look on paper. He isn’t preoccupied with people's priorities, like beauty, status, connections, clothes, accomplishments, or anything else. Instead, He’s examining our hearts—our beliefs, thoughts, motivations, character, devotion to Him, humility toward Him, dependence on Him, and hunger for Him.

And what if we fall short? Well, David did too. Those who others deem as the most unlikely, imperfect people are the ones God uses to accomplish His perfect mission. And that should encourage us because sometimes we will feel unqualified. Even then, God will use us as an example. We bear the privilege of displaying to the world how God’s grace is sufficient, and His power is perfect in our weakness.

God sees you—your heart for Him, your desire for good, and even your mistakes. But don’t get in your own way because you feel like you don’t deserve God’s love. God sees the end from the beginning, and His plans are bigger than your feelings. When God sees and chooses you, He will use you for His glory.

The LORD doesn't see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart. I SAMUEL 16:7

DECLARATION:

I am seen by God. I will never be overlooked. Even when I am hidden from others, He will watch over me. I am confident that God will always notice, recognize, and utilize me for His glory.
