It is not easy to be rejected. It is not easy to fall short of someone else’s standards. Despite everything we try to do, we can’t seem to measure up. Is there really something that is lacking in us? Or are we just using a standard that fails to see who we really are? What if we try to see ourselves using God’s standards?
“Intelligence, wit, charm, strength, wealth, fame, power – such are the things that make us put our faith in men. But God knows better. God knows He can bestow all these things to anyone, and so He looks for one quality we often fail to see. God looks at the heart.”
