Knowing God - Proverbs 21:2

(from Pastor)

All a man’s ways are right in his own eyes,

but the Lord weighs the hearts. 

Proverbs 21:2

 

So many of us spend so much time trying to explain and justify ourselves. We want to be "right in our own eyes." 

 

What this self-justification fails to do is recognize the fact that God has already justified us. And it cost him his life.

 

If we'd just TRULY accept that God has justified us, we'd be so much better off. And our hearts would be so much lighter.

 

In Christ's Love,

a guy who wants a smaller heart

(I mean ... a lighter heart)

------------------------------

The Lord weighs the heart.  God could care less what we did for all to see - what he really cares about is what is inside.  He sees behind our masks - through the pretenses we put up - through the walls we live behind. He sees inside ... the ugly ... naked ... no where to run ... that is what he weighs.  What are we really telling ourselves? How do we really see ourselves? Is it the same as how God sees us?
