We also tend to evaluate others on the basis of
physical, outward appearance,
whether or not the person is good-looking, their social
status, their family pedigree, their degrees, or their
economic situation.
The Lord, however, has a different standard by which He
measures a person.
When the Lord measures an individual, He measures the
heart as an indicator of his capacity and potential to
bless others.
Why the heart?
Because the heart is a synonym for one's entire makeup.
The measure of our hearts is the measure of our total
performance.
As used by the Lord, the heart of a person describes his
effort to better self or others or the
condition he confronts.
