i SEE you

Many times I've wondered what the world would be like if people actually SAW one another as opposed to looking through or past each other. What would happen if people would overlook "flaws" and see people for who they are on the inside.

Maybe I'm the only one who has spent the majority of life being seen past or through, yet never being SEEN. Then again, may you have too.

Have you ever been in a room full of people, yet no one knew you were there? I have.

No, this isn't a "pity party". I'm just keeping it real. This has been my experience, so why candy coat it. I won't and I don't.

Today's post is short and sweet. I SEE you.

Let the DIALOGUE begin! Are you constantly overlooked, wondering when/if anyone will actually recognize you for the wonderful person you are?

Maybe you're like me with a exterior appearance that's "less than desirable" according to societies standards.

Well I have a word for you my friend. A word that gives me comfort, and I hope it does for you as well:

1 Samuel 16:7
But the LORD said to Samuel, "Don't judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The LORD doesn't see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

So if you've been overlooked most of your life as I have, don't worry. God SEES you. And He sees you where it matters most. He sees your HEART. Now that's something to be happy about.

Talk to me!

Til next time...
