THE LORD LOOKS AT THE HEART

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE LORD LOOKS AT THE HEART

 

You see a friend

A beautiful woman

Or a handsome man

You become a little bit jealous

 

I tell you

Don’t you worry

The Lord

The Lord

Looks at the heart

 

Someone else

Becomes rich and famous

Achieves your heart’s desire

 

I tell you

Don’t you worry

The Lord

Looks at the heart

 

A heart

Is figuratively and literally

The center of a person

That which

Gives a person their direction

 

Focus your heart

On loving God and loving others

 

The Lord

Looks at the heart

 

“Do not

Consider his appearance or his height

For I have rejected him

The lord does not look

At the things that man looks at

Man looks at the outward appearance

But the Lord

Looks at the heart”                                                       1 Samuel 16:7

 

No beauty---no looks

No wealth or fame

It is no problem

The Lord

The Lord

 

The Lord

Looks at the heart

 

“Create in me

A pure heart Oh God

And renew a steadfast spirit within me”                                       Psalm 51:10

 

Teach me Oh Lord

What really matters

In life

 

Love, forgiveness, and kindness

The Lord looks at the heart

 

“Above all else

Guard your heart

For it is the wellspring of life”                                          Proverbs 4:23

 

It really is

What is inside that counts

 

The Lord really does look

At the heart

 

So when the world

Has let you down

When the world

Has pushed you around

Has told you

That you just don’t measure up

 

Remember what the Lord says,

“I the Lord search the heart

And examine the mind

According to his conduct

According to what his deeds deserve”                                         Jeremiah 17:10

 

No beauty---no problem

No money or fame---no problem

No notoriety or social status

No problem

 

“The Lord

Does not look at the things

Man looks at

The Lord

Looks at the heart”

 

The Lord

Looks at the heart
