The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.
- Jeremiah 17:9-10 (NLT)
We live in a very entitled world today - and I am not just talking about the younger generation - it seems like everyone is only in it for themselves.
I see a lot of “what are you going to do for me” attitude going on, people forget that we should do things for others.
How often do we do things “half-heartedly”?
We can usually tell when someone doesn’t really mean what they say or doesn’t want to do something but feels obligated to do it anyway.
Even if we can’t tell, God always can.
As we go through life we are going to come across a lot of circumstances that may harden our hearts and we simply cannot allow that to happen because once our hearts turn deceitful against our friends, family, God and even our own selves, it becomes increasingly difficult to turn back to God.
And if God is rewarding man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve, there are going to be a lot of people disappointed in what they receive.
Where is your heart?
Do a regular heart check on yourself, make sure your heart really is in the right place.
Because where your heart is, for real, shows the world who you are.
We might be able to fool others, but we can’t fool God, He sees our real heart.
