We cannot judge the worth or value of something or someone by outward appearances alone. We only see an outward "cover," but we cannot see inside another's "book." But God knows every detail on every page of our book, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and He wants to use those details for something beautiful and good.

The message revolves around what God looks at based on I Samuel 16, the story of David being chosen as the next King of Israel and why God chose him. An important lesson taught to the prophet Samuel and us on judging by outward appearances.
"But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” I Samuel 16:7
What character traits did David possess for such an exalted calling and be called by God as a man after His own heart? Can we become a woman after God's own heart?
