God loves the Amorites --or the people who live in rebellion--and the Israelites just the same for God created us all. It is just that those in rebellion live in a world they create that is outside of the life that God has for them so they are dead in their sin and scripture says that God does not know them.
Scripture tells us that anyone who decides to choose life, to choose love, brings such delight to the Lord that even the angels rejoice.
God does not react to us based on what we think of as beauty on the outside as humans react. A doctor once told a beautiful woman he had exrayed that she was beautiful on the outside but her insides were all misshapen.
Sister, sadly, and I mean sadly, you have almost no concept of God or who He is. I realize you appear to be living in an area where there are few if any true Sanctified Believers, and that is why it is so sad. Still, even on a desert island, if you have the Word of God (Holy Bible) and a sincere desire to seek Him through study of the Word, and prayer, He will find you, and His Holy Spirit will fill you with His love, guidance, and understanding.
I have to wonder if you are sincerely seeking Him in the real world as opposed to asking questions here? Not trying to hurt your feelings, trying to understand if you are truly seeking Him and understanding of Him. Not one person here can give you the understanding you need...........ONLY the Holy Spirit can do that, and you NEED to sincerely, and with a contrite heart, seek Him in study and prayer.
Hope you realize this
I’m praying that God will open up your understanding. Your thoughts are self-defeating and not from God. They are from the enemy. He is the one that wants to keep you down and out and make you feel the way that you are feeling.
God does not want you to feel this way. God loves you. He wants to give you peace and joy. The enemy wants to steal that peace and joy and make you feel down and out.
Resist the enemy and draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh unto you. Set your affections on things above and not things of this earth, and God will begin to move in your life and your heart and give you peace and understanding.
Life is but a vapor and is quickly passing by. Beauty, riches, and all worldly things fade away and won’t make any difference when we come to the end of this life. So set you affections upon things above. Draw nigh to God, read his word, pray and have a relationship with him, being confident that he loves you and wants to help you to be happy and have joy and peace in him.
You can be beautiful on the outside and have interior organs that would show they were formed terrible on the inside. What do you think God sees when God looks at us?
As far as humans judging by looks, frankly what they see is the person we are more than the body that person is in. When a person has pride in themselves as approved by God, when a person radiates love and thoughts of others rather than himself, when a person loves the Lord and it shines in their face then others react to those things rather than the shape of a nose and mouth.
John 3:16 says it all!! Keep in mind God and Jesus are one!!
John 3 AMPC Amplified Classic
16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
When I was working for 31 years I was in customer service. That meant I traveled the country and world installing, teaching and repairing the telemetry systems my company made. We had several customer service engineers scattered around the country. One was out west and his wife was as the saying goes would make a freight train make a U turn. It was a shock to see her the first time. Getting to know her was a treat since she was intelligent and fun to be around. That made it easy to look past her looks. That gives me a little understanding about how God looks at us when we accept grace through faith in Jesus.
I was told once that I should never stop asking questions, the only stupid question is the one you don't ask.
No for sure.
1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the Lord sees not as man sees; man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” (RSV)
What pleases the Lord is:
Luke 15:7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. (RSV)
Isaiah 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
2 Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
People who practice love towards others, love God who is love.
I therefore believe that God loves those who love Him more than those who don't.
