HEARTTALK

All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord.

Proverbs 16:2 NIV

A person may believe he is doing right. But the Lord will judge his reasons.

Proverbs 16:2 ICB

These scripture stuck with me during Word Alive Service today. While listening to one of our special songs we had to minister today, there was a line that I kept asking myself if I really meant it from the deepest part of my heart. That line was, "For Your glory, I will do anything." Really?🤔In-short, I saw those days were I deliberately disobeyed God's instruction because I wanted to be a coconut head.😟 Yes o! I'm a work in progress. T for Thanks. However, it doesn't change the fact that I disobeyed. The question is why? 

Looking at the world today, it is inherently almost impossible to not fall short. Starting from our eyes, what we see, watch and listen to. We claim it's trending. The things we listen to. Trends right?!

How about how we treat God so conveniently like He is our puppet. We literally want God to do what we want Him to do, but most of the time we don't want to do what He has asked for us how He has asked it of us. We live our lives as we please and term it "grace." Yes, grace is available for us daily, but does that mean we should misuse it? Let's not delve into fornication, it seems like a norm to the godly folks. Talking about it seems like you are judging.

Anyways, the truth is, I had a heart talk with myself starting from when I had the intention to sing the song "For Your glory". When I don't mean what I say but I'm saying it, I'm lying. I just realized singing it is the same as saying it. Weird that it's just striking in my head as that now. Sitting to listen to the word and seeing this scripture (Prov 16:2ICB, NIV) too also made me understand that God is trying to do a heartwork on me. Toomany things I might think are okay but aren't.

I learnt something as a child in Sunday School, WWJD (What Will Jesus Do?) It's so important as christians to understand that we are representatives of Christ and having a heart check as to our intentions on everything is so important.

Are you doing what you are doing because it's trending, or because it makes you feel important/among or it increases your values positively or it's godly or it's right, etc?

Why do you do what you do?

Thank God I'm finally getting back to listening. You should too.

Allow God to do a heartwork on you.
