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 (1 Sam. 16:7 NLT)
Here's a scary thought, God looks at our heart. He doesn't judge like we often do by degrees, financial statements, how many times we attend church, etc. He is interested in our heart. When we get to heaven & even now, He doesn't want to see our papers (accomplishments), He is going to check the condition of our heart. Do we have a humble heart that loves Him more than anything & that's willing to be used. Our appearance, accomplishments, money, awards, etc. can never get us into heaven. Its only a relationship with Him. He's not interested in whether you have a seminary degree because He's the only qualification you need to share Him with others. So tell Him you're willing to be used & ask Him to examine your heart & make it suitable for His use. That's what He's looking for.
