"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? 'I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.'" Jeremiah 17:9-10
We're not perfect, in fact, we are born sinners (Romans 5:12), but once we are saved (Romans 10:9-10) we have a relationship with Christ. Even if we aren't able to quote every verse in the Bible or pray long, elaborate prayers, none of that matters. The Lord looks into our hearts and sees our honest desires and motives.
"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life" Proverbs 4:23
We must constantly ask ourselves, "What am I feeding my spirit," to assess if our motives are pure, holy, and Christlike; if they are, the Lord will be bless them.
