Susan Boyle

Susan Boyle has been quite popular on YouTube and such lately. It really show that everyone is special and important to God. Check out this quote:

"The way we see Susan Boyle is very nearly the way God sees us: worthwhile, special, talented, unique, beautiful. The world generally looks askance at people like Susan Boyle, if it sees them at all. Without classic good looks, without work, without a spouse, living in a small town, people like Susan Boyle may not seem particularly "important." But God sees the real person, and understands the value of each individual's gifts: rich or poor, young or old, single or married, matron or movie star, lucky or unlucky in life. God knows us. And loves us."(http://www.americamagazine.org/blog/entry.cfm?blog_id=2&id=61474897-3048-741E-3739258670171854, "Susan Boyle and the Love of God," James Martin, S.J.)

How very true. God told the prophet Samuel when he was trying to find a king to not look at outward appearances:

"But 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, http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=9&chapter=16&verse=7&version=31&context=verse). God sees who we really are. Let us try to see all people through the eyes of God.
