1 John 3:20-22

I have so many “drafts” left to finish of things that have been on my heart. I’ve had a busy couple of weeks and as a result I haven’t had the mental/emotional capacity to devote to writing what I want to. I’m sure eventually I’ll finish them though.

I came across these verses today and wanted to share:

If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. – 1 John 3:20-22


I am seeing this verse in new light today. I’m not sure I’ve completely grasped it well enough to articulate what I’m understanding so I’ll just share the verse for now and then try to elaborate on it later.  I know the Lord is speaking to my heart with this one and trying to show me something more. Last week, I had never felt more UN-confident in my life. I feared and felt like I was screwing up all over the place and was certainly feeling like a complete failure. I was angry with the Lord and could not wrap my mind around what He was trying to do or show me. I’m getting some of it this week… but I know He’s doing a lot and will be doing more.  I wished I’d of read this verse and let Him speak to my heart last week though.  Man, His ways are far better than mine!
