"For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God."
1 John 3:20-21
I love this stuff. These scriptures seem to illustrate so well how much God loves us, no matter where we are in terms of spiritual preparedness. ... If we haven't been doing very well, and our heart condemns us, and we KNOW we need to do better, God reassures us here... God is greater than our heart, and he knows that we can come through okay. We don't have to feel like failures or slugs. He will assist us, and we *can* get back on track, no matter how impossible it seems. We can ask God to step in and help us out, and he WILL. ... With God, there is *always* hope.
And then, in the next verse... if our heart doesn't condemn us, then we have more confidence when we talk to God and ask him for help as well. ... So the point here is God loves us SO much, and he wants us to be happy and come closer to him, no matter where we are today. He doesn't want us to wait around for a while, suffering. He wants us to come to him, talk to him, and start getting that help today. No matter how impossible things seem, God makes them possible to handle. Today, let's do a heart evaluation, see whether we stand condemned in our own estimation. ... And no matter what we find, let's talk to God about how to make it better.
