                    I Search The Heart   

I search your hearts.  I Am the God Who Sees.  I see exactly what is in
your heart when you come to praise Me.  You can't hide it from Me.  I want
broken and contrite hearts when you come into My presence.  I am to be
exalted.  I am to be lifted up.  Your focus should be on Me.  But you
focus on other things instead of on Me.

I look at the condition of your heart.  Not only do I see what you are
focused on, but I see the other junk that is in there--things that a child
of Mine should not be thinking on.

I am calling you to true repentance, NOT an "I'm sorry; I won't do that
again" lip service.  If it is an attitude that is not of Me, is not like
Me, it has no place in your heart.  Anger, unforgiveness, bitterness,
aggravation, resentment--these things are just as vile to Me as
pornography, hatred, murder, adultery.  Repent.  Turn from these heart
attitudes.  Root it out; pull it out; destroy it.  Build on My Fruits of
My Spirit.  I want to look on a clean heart, pure and holy before Me.

I look at the heart.
