The LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
1 SAMUEL 16:7
When I was first starting the Media Ministry, creating videos and taking pictures were things I tried to avoid, because I thought that all artist, or people on camera had to look a certain way.
I would tell my mother that I didn’t want to be on the camera until I was skinny and muscular.
My Mother told me that we didn’t have time to wait till I was in shape that the time for the videos and pictures was now.
When I got a little older and started telling more and more people about what I did as the director of Genesis, they would tell me they thought I should be a Football Player because of my size.
They even doubted that I was an artist, because of my size: They didn’t bother to pay attention to the talent I displayed, only what I looked like.
God later told me that he created me the way I am, to stand out among everyone, to change the way people think about how a person is “suppose” to look, instead of focusing on the person & their talent, or character!
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged? For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
Matthew 7:1
When it comes to judging, there are many aspects to cover, but it all boils down to pride. Whether you’re the one judging others for how they look, talk, or do. Whether you think your better then others due to financial status, or popularity:
“So if any one of you thinks you're important when you're really not, you're only fooling yourself. Each of you must examine your own actions... Then you can be proud of your own accomplishments without comparing yourself to others. Assume your own responsibility.” Galatians 6: 3-5
Maybe you’re the one that compares yourself to others, maybe arrogantly, or maybe that’s why you feel down about yourself (because you think your less than those around you). To you I say, you are beautiful, you are more than a conqueror, because that’s how God made you! Don’t give up! Stay Strong! If God is for you, who can stand against you?! You will reap your reward, if you do not give up!
