........What we see in the mirror each day is not the real person that we are to God. God is a spirit and He sees and knows spirits and the mind of spirits like we know and understand flesh and the mind and desires of flesh. Peter said that we all have a HIDDEN MAN. He called that man the HIDDEN MAN OF THE HEART (our spirit man). To God our heart, the HIDDEN MAN OF THE HEART is the real person that we are. Our bodies are but clothes or our REAL MANS COVERING.
.......When we stand before God to give our own personal account to the Almighty, it will not be our knees nor our our elbows thoughts and intents being judged. God will be seeing the real us, OUR HEARTS.
Paul said in that day, all the hearts thoughts and secrets and hidden intents will God see and judge.
.......Friends our bodies may look great here, there, or at church. We may even look and sound great singing a solo before the congregation. All may look beautiful and sound divine, but if our hearts true self and affections are elsewhere as to be singing for peoples praise and not to Gods glory, God sees the real reason why we sing and our vanity will be the only reward we get.
.......We must all remember the Lords revealing piercing words that he spoke to a whole lot of outwardly appearing religious people. Their visual appearance looked as holy as was in those days, yet THE HEART JUDGE said to them, You look all clean and fair without, but within (In your heart, the real you) you are full of dead men's bones and all corruption. In other words they were like devils with religious clothes on. He made that point about them quite clear several times. Could he say the same point about us when he sees our hearts?
........I sure do not want to be found that way when I stand before the Lord to have my heart fully examined and judged by the heart Master, do you? Each day our bodies are seen here and there in this world, but God always sees where our hearts are and the motive behind every gesture and thing we say and do.. He said, these people honor me with their lips, but I can see and tell that their hearts are FAR FROM ME. Our hearts to God are always telling on us whether the telling is good or bad. Our heart is second to second revealing the real us to God. As in the closet God sees us praying when others can't, even so in the heart God sees the real us walking when the rest of the world is honoring only our shell.
.......It is certainly time for a HEART CHECK UP in the spirit, in the HIDDEN MAN of the HEART. Where is your heart today and where so is mine?
.......Blessings friends and lets pray for one another about this most important light..Check yourself the bible says, and see where you are at in the faith......deno.....share freely.
P.S...He that knows us most still loved us and gave himself for us anyway...He saw how ugly and awful all our hearts were and yet he died to save us anyway, even from ourselves..Now that is real love. Love that passes all this worlds natural understanding. I was startled to find out that he who reads and understood every persons heart, he still looked at them and smiled and told them for God so loves you that......
