“For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.”
1 John 3:20 KJV
Whenever our heart makes us feel guilty and reminds us of our failures, we know that God is much greater and more merciful than our conscience, and He knows everything there is to know about us. There is a higher courtroom for the human heart: it is where grace is enthroned. The very worst that is in us is known by God and He still showers mercy, love and acceptance upon us. This is the greatness of God’s grace. He sees beyond the sin of the moment and sees the holy affections of love in those who refuse to turn away from Him. So, even if our own hearts would accuse us of not really being true to ourselves, God is greater than our hearts and He has the full picture! His knowledge of us is not compromised. We have laid aside our old Adam-self with its masquerade and disguise. Now we have acquired new creation life which is continually being renewed into the likeness of the One who created us; giving us the full revelation of God. Amen!
