My beloved child,
I see your actions, your prayers, and your service, but more than that, I see your heart. Nothing is hidden from Me—not your thoughts, your motives, or the intentions behind what you do. While others may judge by what they see on the outside, I look deeper. I weigh your motives because I desire truth and sincerity in your innermost being.
I want you to know that it’s not just about the things you do for Me or for others; it’s about why you do them. Are your actions motivated by love for Me? Are you seeking to glorify My name or your own? Remember, My child, pride and self-righteousness block My grace, but humility invites My presence and blessings into your life.
There are times when even good deeds can miss the mark if the heart behind them is not right. My Word shows you this:
The Israelites brought sacrifices but refused to obey Me with their hearts.
Judas appeared to care for the poor but was consumed by greed.
Saul offered sacrifices but disobeyed My direct command.
I don’t want you to fall into these traps. Come to Me with an open heart, and let Me purify your motives. Let your service and worship flow from a heart that truly loves and honors Me. Don’t seek the approval of others or try to measure your worth by what you do—your worth is found in My love for you.
When you give, give out of love. When you pray, pray with sincerity. When you serve, serve with humility. And when you struggle with your motives, bring them to Me, and I will help you align your heart with My will.
Always remember, My child, I desire your heart more than your works. When your heart is right, your actions will bring Me glory, and you will experience the fullness of My peace, joy, and grace. Trust Me, walk humbly before Me, and let your life be a reflection of My love to the world.
I am with you always, and I delight in a heart that seeks after Me.
With everlasting love,
Your Heavenly Father
