SHEETS

“But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.”

1 Samuel 16:7 KJV

I can’t fold fitted sheets.  I have tried and tried and the more I try, the more I get upset with myself because I can’t fold them and then I start crying.  Then I remember our Scripture verse that the LORD isn’t looking at the way I fold sheets, He is looking at what is in my heart.

Instead of us looking at others and judging them, let’s pray for them and encourage them.  A pastor said in a sermon “If you will make sure your own heart is right with God, you won’t have the time to judge others”.  I don’t know about you but it is a full time job to make sure the things in my heart please God.

Heavenly Father, please forgive us for sometimes judging others.  May we become encouragers instead of criticizing and judging others.  Please forgive me for the times I have failed You and hurt You.  I pray You will encourage and comfort all who are hurting.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
