But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

I Samuel 16:7

Self examination is important. We need to check ourselves regularly to see where we are in our relationship with God and to make sure that we are on the path that leads us closer to Him. But it's important to remember that we need to ask the Spirit to show us our life through God's eyes and not our own. When we see our self through our own eyes it's hard to see rightly. It's easy to see only our failures and short comings and see unworthiness. Or adversely to see success and progress through our pride and miss how much we still need a savior. But God does not look at our life as we do. He looks at the inside, at the heart. He knows us and our motives better than we do. If we see our lives through His eyes will see His calling and guiding hand. We will see our acceptance as well as what needs to be changes, We will neither be quick to reject and berate our self nor slip into false security that comes from pride.

Abba, help me to see myself through Your eyes today. Amen.
