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 human beings look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." 
This verse is comforting and frightening at the same time. How cool is it that God knows who we are and what our potential is so much better than we do, he can look inside of us and say, you are a king, or a missionary, or a counselor, go and help my people, when we have no clue what to do with ourselves. Then there are also questions. What does my heart look like? This question haunts me sometimes, it's scary to think what it might look like. Hopefully good, even though it scares me I think I'm comforted by knowing that I've been washed, and I have reason to believe this includes my heart, hopefully God sees the heart of Christ in me and not my own heart, filthy as I think it can get at times... I want with everything I am to be clean, just have to keep reaching for the sky and praying for Christ to show me the way to be even more like him.
