Equal Opportunity Christians

But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.  1 Samuel, Chapter 16, verse 7.

This is when God had asked Samuel to anoint the future king.  Samuel looked at David’s brothers (David was young and was tending sheep at the time.)  Samuel thought surely God had chosen one of David’s brothers who were older and stronger, but God had a different idea.

God explained to Samuel that He doesn’t look at people by how tall, strong or attractive they are; like men do.  God looks at the person’s heart.  That’s how God can tell what type of person we are.  It makes me think of Jesus being the one true Equal Opportunity Savior of all!  We aren’t judged by our race, culture, sex, age, gender, skin color, wealth, height, weight, etc.  God looks into our heart and knows who we truly are! 
We should be Equal Opportunity Christians, as well, following Jesus' example and not judge others by their race, culture, sex, age, gender, skin color, wealth, height, weight, etc., either!

Since this is an example of the positive influence God has made on my walk with Christ, this may not reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verses.
