1 Samuel 16:7
“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.’”
I’m beyond blessed right now. You have no idea. To say I’ve been going through a lot is an understatement — and honestly, that’s why this page was birthed.
Today, my friend needed me to get a car that was nearly impossible for me to pull off. But I made a commitment in my heart: No matter what, it’s getting done today. Even if I had to pay money out of pocket just to make it happen — I was locked in.
Right after I told him that, he goes, “Oh yeah, by the way… there might be a little Honda over there you’d like.”
I said, “Really?”
He said, “Yeah, I think it had some work done to it too.”
Immediately, I got excited. I knew right away — just like that Nissan — this was a gift from God. God wouldn’t hand me a Honda that was no good. He knows how much I love them. He’s not a God who teases. So I rushed over there to check it out.
When I got there, this was the sight I saw: the roof cut, the windshield broken, every piece of glass shattered. Anyone else would’ve said that car was garbage.
But then…I opened the hood.
And there it was — the heart.
Oh boy… if you know Honda, you know that’s a heart of gold right there. That’s probably my dream engine. The kind of setup that would make my CRX more than I ever imagined.
In a moment where I desperately needed God to smile at me… He didn’t just smile. He hugged me. He whispered, “Son, keep going. The best is yet to come.”
So let this encourage somebody today:
No matter what you’re facing… God is still smiling at you. God is still working miracles every single day. You woke up, right? I woke up, right? He’s faithful, friends. And this is just the beginning.
