While man looks at outward appearances, God knows the heart. He sees what is going on underneath the surface. He knows the thoughts we struggle with and the emotions we battle like bitterness. The only way our heart can be changed is through the power of the Holy Spirit. He comes in and cleans house and starts to guide us in the way of Christ. Living a life led by the Holy Spirit is the best path to choose.
Our days are filled with battles between the flesh and the Spirit. When we walk in the leading of the Spirit, He leads us on the right path and into divine appointments with the right people. We also start to see fruit appear. We begin to be more loving, patient, and kind. Resisting the leading stunts our spiritual growth. Where are you at today? Your email address will not be published.

He knows our greed, our lust, our selfishness, our pride, and our bitterness.
He knows our life as well. He knows all of it. When I think about the fact that God knows my heart, it drives me to my knees and makes me pray, as David did:. Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin… Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. The realization that God knows my heart makes me realize what a wretch I am. It makes me so thankful for the blood of Jesus. It makes me look — not to my heart for justification — but to the cross for justification.
I have sinned outwardly and I have sinned inwardly. The only hope I have is Jesus. So I beg you to realize that God will hold you accountable for the sins of your mouth, the sins of your hands, and the sins of your heart unless you repent and allow Him to wash you clean in the blood of Jesus Christ:. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Your Heart is Hidden from Man, but Not from God The realization that God knows our hearts should humble us to repent, not embolden us to sin. Jesus could see what others could not.
