1 Samuel 16:7
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. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

What do we look at - outward appearance or the heart. Most of the time we are tempted to look at things which are visible outside. May be possessions, background, qualification, profession….

God always looks at the heart. If you seek with all your heart you will find him. He is not interested in how much money you have, what qualification…. Our love and respect for one another should be beyond the outward appearance.

(James 2:8) If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing right. But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.

Application

Do we show favoritism? Let us deal with it and love others as yourself.
