God Knows the Heart
Acts 1:23-26
And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.…


When Samuel Wilberforce, afterwards Bishop, went to his first charge, some of the parishioners complained that the bishop had seat them a boy. They condemned him before he spoke because of his looks. But after they had heard his first sermon they withdrew their first statement, and said, "We find he is a man." This illustrates the way in which too often we judge men, but we must remember that although man looketh on the outward appearance the Lord looketh on the heart.
