Did you know that pure gold isn't attracted to magnets? That's how jewelers spot fakes – any impurities are drawn straight to the magnet and it pulls it out of all the other pure gold items.

1 Samuel 16:7 reminds us, "The Lord sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." It's a powerful reminder of God's deep insight.

I find myself praying that God will refine my heart, removing any impurities, so that what He sees is a heart devoted entirely to Him.
