From Proverbs 21:2: “All deeds are right in the sight of the doer, but the Lord weighs the heart.”
World around us
Views outer selves
Not always true
God sees ourselves
Examines hearts
What’s false, what’s true
Peeling away
Each beating clue
Colleagues at work
Neighbors and friends
Hold opinions
Not through God’s lens
God’s view prevails
Noting actions
Mindful of thoughts
Weighs each fraction
Most important
True motives say
Pure intentions
Every day
From the words of American Christian author, John Eldredge: “If the narrative of the Scriptures teaches us anything, from the serpent in the Garden to the carpenter in Nazareth, it teaches us that things are rarely what they seem, that we shouldn’t be fooled by appearances.”
