The state of the heart is very important because that’s what God will see. When God looks down from heaven, he looks straight into your heart.

Unlike man, God doesn’t see the pulchritude or outward appearance, he looks inward.

Only God can see how desperately wicked a man’s heart is.

Only God knows the lady winking at you this moment but is plotting your downfall.

Only God sees beyond the nose.

Only God that sees the heart that loves you now and will love you some twenty-three years from now.

1 Sam 16:7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

When God looks into your heart, what does he see? Will he see pride, arrogance, bitterness, rebellion, and all sorts?

Will he see perversion, scheming, devilish plots and what have you?

If God gives you the go-ahead to do what you have in mind, what will it be?

2 Sam 7:1-3 KJV And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies; 2 That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains. 3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee.

See another person;

John 13:27, 30 (TPT) And when Judas ate the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus looked at Judas and said, “What you are planning to do, go do it now. 30 So Judas left quickly and went out into the dark night to betray Jesus.

If God gives you the go-ahead to start that relationship, will it be a disaster? Think about it.

God did not have respect for Cain’s offering because he saw his heart. God knew he had the capacity to give more, but he decided to withhold it….and God said it would have been better for you not to have given at all.

So God is saying if all you want to be doing is taking selfies at cinema halls, I think you should still remain single… hehe…

If all you want to be doing has no kingdom relevance, God will just be shaking his head from heaven.

Ps 24:3-4 KJV Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? 4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

Can you see how God lays premium on the heart?

Watch what enters your heart this season. Be deliberate and intentional. Guard your heart with all diligence. Don’t train your heart to accommodate heartache…it can make the heart sick. Your heart is sacred. Don’t make it a dumping ground.

Selah!
