alright, i'm going to be honest, there's no sense in lying~ i read this verse and felt a HUGE wake up call. so often i get so wrapped up in what others are thinking, when, HELLO CHRISTY... it's you're heavenly father that knows and matters. i even SOMETIMES have wondered if others can see the changes that i've made in my life. do others see that i love God? do my old friends see that i'm a different person? can my family see that God is important to me? -- but does it really matter? if the Lord can see my heart, why do i find myself trying to show all these other people or somehow prove myself to all of these other people?
but wait...it doesn't stop there... when I DO SCREW UP... there have been times... that i've immediately wondered if OTHER PEOPLE have noticed... and who, WITHOUT A DOUBT should be who i immediately turn to and confess? ~ the One that knows my heart, my heavenly Father.... so why do i sometimes get caught up in this impress my friends and people around me game?... when, they don't know one way or another... but my GOD knows every little thing on my heart... he knows every fault and every weakness... our sin grieves His heart.. God desires for us to be honest with him and confess it all...and lets be honest with ourselves, if we can't be honest with the ONE who forgives all our sins and loves unconditionally, who can we be honest with?
Have mercy on me, O God,
because of your unfailing love.
Because of your great compassion,
blot out the stain of my sins.
Wash me clean from my guilt.
Purifty me from my sin.
For I recognize my rebellion;
it haunts me day and night.
Against you, and you alone, have I sinned;
I have done what is evil in your sight.
You will be proved right in what you say,
and your judgement against me is just. ~ Psalm 51:1-6 (Although I do suggest reading the entire psalm)
