His eyes and seeing

Expansion to the topic raised yesterday regarding "loveliness" before God. A few thoughts for a potential message before the brethren:

(1) Unlike world's definitions of loveliness (cars, landscapes, people)

(2) Cleanness from sin; sin is ugly to God

(3) Concord references for "lovely" or "loveliness" limited -- most famous being Ps84 (dwelling places)

(4) Surprising (at least to me), even references for "beauty" are limited (37)

(5) 1Sam16:7: ". . . for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
