They met in a school hallway.
And he liked what he saw.
They were friends at work.
And he liked what he saw.
They were on the same team.
And he liked what he saw.
How many times have you heard stories like this--typically about a romance or a "love at first sight" moment?
I don't know if love at first sight is possible, but I think it's possible that sight itself can be different from what we think. If you took the scenarios above at a basic level, they were about a guy who physically saw a girl he found attractive.
But what if the guy in the school hallway saw the girl laughing with her friends and thought her happy, joy-filled spirit was stunning? What if the guy at work saw the girl wow her clients by excelling at a project? And what if the guy on the team saw the girl who always encouraged the people around her?
There are people who see you and me and there are people who see you and me.
God definitely tends to choose the latter form of sight. I love what it said about his view of Noah in today's passage:
God liked what he saw in Noah.
This is the story of Noah:
Noah was a good man,
a man of integrity in his community.
Noah walked with God.
These are simple words, actually...but I would be really proud if God said those kinds of things about me. Does God like what He sees in us?
