Jesus knows our hearts! Are you being honest with yourself and others, upright and holy, that is what we are called to do!

Jesus perceived in His spirit that they so reasoned within themselves.

~Mark 2:8

Jesus knows our hearts! Are you being honest with yourself and others, upright and holy, that is what we are called to do! We are all sinners. All human and have done error or sinned or done something mean, hurtful, criminal, or hateful, toward others. God knows our heart. Jesus knows us, He knew all about all He had encountered. He knew their flaws, sins, and background. He knows ours too. When we cheat, steal, lie, do anything evil or sinful, He knows. He knows our hearts. We can never escape the fact that He knows all we do. Are we being honest with ourselves?

The Mornings With God App today said, "Jesus sees into people’s hearts and knows everything about them. He saw faith in the men who brought their friend to be healed. Then He saw into the man’s life, recognizing that his greatest need wasn’t healing, but forgiveness of sins. Jesus also knew the secret thoughts of the scribes. They reasoned in their hearts, and Jesus knew their thoughts. He also saw in the publican the potential to be an apostle, even though others would have overlooked him. Knowing that Jesus sees everything should both restrain and encourage us. We can’t hide anything from Him, so we should be careful in how we live. But it should also inspire us, because He knows when we try, even when we fail. He knows when we’re sincere, even when we make mistakes. He knew Peter loved Him, even though Peter had denied Him."

As we all think about sin, can we improve on it? Can we maybe take one day at a time to work on not sinning. To plan it all out, to refuse to use bad language. To not steal, cheat, lie, covet, or hurt anyone. Each day keep working on being better. Know that Jesus is watching, His Spirit is in us, we have God in us, He wants us to be upright and holy. Jesus know we love Him! He made us and chose us, He wants us to follow Him, to reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Him! To be upright and Holy. God knows that the devil too is lurking, Lucifer wants our souls. We are always tempted, we need to pray to turn from sin, turn from hate, turn from, any evil, to try to be conscience of it, make a list each day, keep track of how you control it all, not cheating, not mistreating others, whatever the sin may be, take one day at a time, record your successes and failures, try each day to sin less. make a point of recording it, keep track of your data and successes, make a point each day to sin less. We deny Jesus with our sin, He knows, He knows all we do, all and any evil and sin, be aware of it, pray, read the Bible, count your blessings, let love, positivity, and the joy of the Lord overtake your heart, to sin less, to love more, and work toward being better, Jesus knows, He died for our sins, He loves us nonetheless, He forgives us, ask for forgiveness, turn from all sin, and work toward being a better person each day, one day at a time. Turn from sin, keep a record of it, how are you doing? Make a concerted effort each day to sin less and love more, that is what Jesus wants us to do!
