Encouragement!

This was the verse that was in my inbox right after getting home from a physical and learning that I really need to lose 40lbs:

[Jesse was showing off to Samuel the first of his
fine sons. Samuel was very impressed but the
Lord spoke to him:]

“Do not look at his appearance or at his
physical stature, because I have refused him.

For the LORD does not see as man sees; for
man looks at the outward appearance, but the
LORD looks at the heart.”

1 Samuel 16:7
