1 Samuel 16:7

"... for the Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart."

We may be distracted by outward appearances, or fooled by false pretenses, but God will look into the hearts of all, and we can not know what He will see there that may be hidden from us.

Lord, your love and mercy are great and wonderful gifts. Help us prepare our own hearts and fill them with your love, so that we may be more tolerant, and forgiving toward one another. Help us remember that we all sin equally in your eyes and we are all equally in need of your grace.

We ask your blessings on Don M. in Travis Co. Michael M. in LaGrange, Ky, and his mother Garnette, sister Sandy, and friend Mickey for healing and peace, Colleen J. in Franklin, Ky and parents in Lousiville, Stephanie C, Suzette W., Dana B., Marie A. and Jessica R. from Dallas Co. for their renewal and retrn home to be with their families. We lift up these who are known to us, and we lift up all those in prison, who are separated from their families by fences and walls. Heal their soul-sick hearts and equip them to turn hopelessness into hope, and to know you are in them when they abide in you.

Amen.
