1Jn 3:20 For
if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all
things.
1Jn 3:21
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
1Jn 3:22 And
whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do
those things that are pleasing in his sight.
1Jn 3:23 And
this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus
Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
God is greater than
our hearts.
We think we are
everything, we do. Even a lot of people who think they are nothing, nobodies,
no good, worthless they are judging themselves to be that way because they are
under the misconception that they should be something special to themselves and
the world. We have standards the world has set and when we don't meet those
standards we consider ourselves substandard. The idyllic life, we see it all
the time as we look at other's lives and hear their amazing stories about how
wonderful they are. Giving, kind, wonderful, lovely, charitable, …. the list goes on. We see these people all the
time and we hold ourselves up against their achievements and in their light we
feel so dark.
Our hearts do
condemn us and God is greater than our heart! God knows all things.
What light are we to
measure ourselves against? The light of our Savior and in that light we KNOW we
are revealed as wretched, spiritually poor, blind, naked sinners. And when our
eyes are opened to the truth of ourselves- every single one of us -from those
we consider the greatest to the least, we know there is only one true standard
and that is Christ! He will stand in OUR PLACE for us! We aren't supposed to
shine on our own. We are supposed to live in the light of Christ!
More on this
tomorrow by the GRACE and MERCY, the WILL of our LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS
CHRIST!!!
NOW and FOREVER!
