<p>&quot;Man looks at the outward appearance, but <em>the Lord looks at the heart!&quot;</em> 1 Samuel 16:7 <br />
    <br />
    Those who are striving to live near the heart of Christ, must realize that it is <strong>the hidden life </strong>which makes the <em>character</em>. <br />
    <br />
    What we are in the depths of our being, where no human eye can penetrate — that we are actually, as God sees us. This inner life will ultimately work its way through to the surface — <em>transforming the character</em> into its own quality. <br />
    <br />
    Nothing can be more important, therefore, than that the hidden life be true, pure, beautiful, and Christ-like. <br />
