Mr. Right Guy

    Have you ever dreamed who Mr. Right Guy or Miss. Right Girl will be?  Have you ever wondered what he or she looks like?  Here is a story about Samuel anointing David as king.
     1 Samuel 16:6-13
     When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab (Jesse is the father of Eliab) and thought, "Surely the Lord's anointed stands here before the Lord."  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.  The Lord does not look at the outward appearance, but the at the heart."  Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him in front of Samuel.  But Samuel said "The Lord has not chosen this one either."  Jesse then had Shammah pass by, but Samuel said "Nor has the Lord chosen this one."   Jesse had seven sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him.  "The Lord has not chosen these."  So he asked Jesse, "Are these all the sons you have?"
"There is the youngest," Jesse answered, "but he is tending the sheep."
Samuel said "Send for him: we will not sit down until he arrives."  So he sent and had him brought in.  He was ruddy, with a fine appearance and handsome features.Then the Lord said "Rise and anoint him; for he is the one."
     Don't you think that's amazing?  Out of all of the brothers it was David!  He was the youngest and the smallest.  When Samuel first came there he thought it was Eliab.  But God looks at our hearts not our beauty.  So if you are dating (Which if you are then I hope you are over 15)  Pray to God and see if he or she is right for you.  Remember God looks at our hearts not our outward appearance.  So the one you might like may look good on the outside, but is his or her heart the way God wants it to be?  Some of you are probably wondering "How do I know God is saying 'This is the one?'  I asked someone that same question and she said, "It is hard to explain but when God spoke to me I knew it was him."
