The Interior Of Your Heart

The Interior of Your Heart “He just wants her money, that’s why he’s helping her.” “She doesn’t care about her. She just wants people to think good of her!” When someone performs a charitable act, reaches out to visit the lonely or offers compassion to the ailing or hurting keep your hands clear of interference and your thoughts clean. If we consistently try to break down someone’s good intentions we may one day be successful in killing their spirit. If we bring negative attention toward another’s good nature we might find that we’ll lose a good friend. If we plant the seed of greed in one who is easily swayed we may be giving up a good soldier for the church to the devil’s mob. Jesus asks, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?” Give of your time because you can. Share your wealth because you are blessed. Love even the greatest sinner because you are loved with all your imperfections. Search your heart and ask yourself, “Are you are a disciple of Jesus or a warrior of the enemy? For which is more costly to say, “Why would you want to help her” or “Let’s do something together to lend a hand.” Jesus came to show us He will forgive anyone who repents and believes. With faith in your spirit, and the strength of the gift of your hands, mind and body praise the good works of others. Be the first to support, bear witness, and imitate a servant of God. The interior of your heart will eventually surface to the top. God is counting on you to be His crème de la crème. Matthew 9:1-8 And after getting into a boat he crossed the sea and came to his own town. And just then some people were carrying a paralyzed man lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven." Then some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is blaspheming." But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Stand up and walk'? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" - he then said to the paralytic - "Stand up, take your bed and go to your home." And he stood up and went to his home. When the crowds saw it, they were filled with awe, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to human beings.
