Jer. 17:10 “I, the Lord search the heart and examine the mind to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve.”  NIV

Lord. What an awesome thing Your word is! Proof. “You search the heart and examine the mind – for the purpose of rewarding man for his conduct“.  I think I love that.  You know what I think and what I feel, so when I do a thing You know why.  I love You and You know how desperately.  

And I believe God said. . .

Yes, I know. I know when you are selfish and I know when you are unselfish. I hear your reasonings and I measure your responses to my words. You are accountable, but I am merciful. *It is by my great compassion that you are not consumed.

*Lam3:22

Thank You Lord. I’m accountable and that is scary BUT You ARE merciful. That is where my hope is found!
