God judges our heart, not our appearance

Yahweh said... "Yahweh does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart."

1 Samuel 16:7 NIV

[I wish I could honestly see my heart as You see it. Help me refine it. Teach me to look at hearts rather than outward appearances.]

God was Grieved

And Yahweh was grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel.

1 Samuel 15:35 NIV

[Lord, I am so sorry when I grieve you also. Change me.]

Greetings... Do Not Be Afraid

[This is what Jesus said to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary when they met him outside his tomb immediately after his resurrection:]

χαιρετε... [and as they worshipped him...] μη φοβεισθε

Matthew 28:9,10


[How beautiful to have been the first person greeted by You. Yet every day You likewise welcome every new believer.]

Hosanna!

[Today, Palm Sunday, enjoy a portion of John 12:13, the words of the great crowd as Jesus entered Jerusalem:]

ωσαννα ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος εν ονοματι κυριου ο βασιλευς του ισραηλ

Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord the King of Israel.


[Hosanna! Save Me!]
