Accepts us as we are

So did you know God is somewhat like a dog? / In a way

I’m meaning no disrespect. But a dog will love you if you’re poor, rich, lazy, fat, skinny or you love to pick your nose, you know what ever right. But of course there are many differences from Jesus and a dog of course too. A dog will give you his heart if you give yours.

But see the beautiful thing about God is that he has already given us his love even thou I know we don’t deserve it. The Lord wants our hearts and is always waiting for us to return. The closer we get to God /Jesus because you can’t get to the father without going through the son first. The more our hearts start beating like his. And when our hearts are beating like His, is when we are truly being the body of Christ.

This reminds me of a story in 1 Samuel chapter 16.

1 Samuel 16:7 (NLT)
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.”

See in this story the Lord asks Samuel to go and find a man named Jesse who lives in Israel, and then He says “for I have selected one of his sons to be my new king.” So Samuel go’s and finds this man named Jesse and tells him what he’s there to do. So Jesse brings out all his sons. He saw all Jesse’s 7 son’s but still none of them were it. So Samuel asked Jesse if there were any others. And Jesse said yes the youngest in the back. Samuel said get him at once. Once he did God told him right away that this boy was going to be king. Now David was the shortest and the youngest but God looks at the heart and not outward appearance.

God loves us the way we are. My prayer for us is that the Lord can gives us his eyes so we can see as He does.
