Reason 11: I'm grateful for the birth of the Savior because
He looks not on our outward appearances, but at our hearts. It is so easy to be quick to judge and label someone just by what they look like or a few words they say. Christ is the ultimate example of seeing people for who they truly are and who they can become. Race, nationality, hobbies, talents, profession, living circumstances, location, family, hair color--none of it stops Him from loving us just as much as He loves everyone else. He loves all people instantly and wants equally for everyone to return to the Father's presence. He is no respecter of persons. He is the Advocate, love, and support for all. Every. Single. One. Of. Us. Including
you.
". . . Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him." (Acts 10:34-35)
"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 16:7)
