Who do you think God thinks about when He sees my heart?
He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.
“As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.
And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
Man judges perfection by outward performance, but God judges the heart, He looks at & examines motives.
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?
10 But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.”
“But I also have a message for the rest of you in Thyatira who have not followed this false teaching
(‘deeper truths,’ as they call them—depths of Satan, actually). I will ask nothing more of you
Who may climb the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place?
4 Only those whose hands and hearts are pure, who do not worship idols and never tell lies.
5 They will receive the Lord’s blessing and have a right relationship with God their savior.
My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away when I groan for help?
2 Every day I call to you, my God, but you do not answer. Every night you hear my voice, but I find no relief.
Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. 4 Our ancestors trusted in you, and you rescued them.
5 They cried out to you and were saved. They trusted in you and were never disgraced.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.
The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.
