It is always difficult
to be judged by others, but it is far worse when those who condemn refuse facts
that are contrary to their presumptions. An unwillingness to hear and consider beyond
foregone conclusions is a sign of spiritual immaturity and those who choose
this path disqualify themselves. Mature, godly love always leads to healing,
enlightenment and freedom. Father, deliver me from all hardness of heart.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
