The Hidden Life

"Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart!" 1 Samuel 16:7
Those who are striving to live near the heart of Christ must realize that it is the hidden life which makes the character. What we are in the depths of our being, where no human eye can penetrate, that is what we are actually, as God sees us. This inner life will ultimately work its way through to the surface--transforming the character into its own quality.

Nothing can be more important, therefore, than that the hidden life be true, pure, beautiful, and Christ-like.

"Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart!" 1 Samuel 16:7

- J. R. Miller
