Susan Boyle.Hey you readers, ever heard of Susan Boyle? No? Alright then. I'll tell you who she is. She is a 48 year old woman from West Lothian, a Scottish church volunteer and she has got a big heart for singing. She said, "I've always wanted to become a professional singer" and the audience snickered cynically at that honest and genuine dream of Susan Boyle. Why you ask? She is someone who you wouldn't consider your average pretty, slim girl. She isn't someone who you would come across as someone who is smart as well. So yea, she's practically what people would say, goofy and dumb. But when she opened her voice up to everyone, singing "I dreamed a dream" by lesMiserables, she stunned the audience and the judges.(and yes, including Simon Cowell)
Why is she being mentioned in this post you might wonder, well, I learned something from her which I think most people in our daily lives don't see. I realised how cynical and dense we are towards things which are actually nothing, and yet, we are so used to measure people with it, such as appearance, looks, the way they present themselves. Does looks and beauty really matter that much? No? But really, it usually over shadows how great the person is inside. Why do you think we, humans are so? I guess, we tend to look at whats on the outside than whats on the inside.
But really, think of it this way, how do God see us? Aren't we all imperfect? We have all sinned. We are Susan Boyle. But does he look at us like how we looked at Susan? Cynical? Cunning? Judgemental? Nope. I can sincerely tell you that. What He sees is not how we are on the outside. It is who we are on the inside. He sees us like how everyone sees Susan after her great voice came out from her mouth. Everyone was impressed and was in disbelieve. I guess, that is how God sees us.
