Character: Belle
Trait: Looking at the heart
Verse: ! Samuel 16:7
But the Lord said to Samuel “Don’t judge by his appearance of height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
As a normal human being, our tendency is to look at the outward appearance of someone and judge them by that. But it is not supposed to be that way. God does not look at outward appearance. He looks at the heart. We should do that too. We should start looking at the heart instead of physical appearance.
There is always more to someone then their outward appearance and that matters a lot. Why should we look at something so shallow when there is something deep and meaningful that we can look at. When we look at the heart of someone, we see who they really are. Most of the time when we look at the physical appearance, we don’t get a good judge ofd who someone really is.
Looking at the heart is something that is so pure and amazing once you get the hang of it. It takes time to reteach yourself how to look at people. But it is so worth it. When you look at the heart of people, you really see who someone is. Sometimes when we just look at the outward appearance of someone, we don’t get to see who they really are.
Belle looks at the beasts’ heart instead of his outward appearance. She sees that he is struggling with sadness and loneliness. She doesn’t judge his appearance. She sees whats inside and decides that that matters more to her than his appearance. She starts falling for him when she sees who he truly is, not just what is outward appearance is.
I challenge you to start looking at the heart instead of someones outward appearance.
