Possibly the 4 most dangerous words in religion "He Knows My Heart".

Sure, when we are doing our best, or the best we yet know to do, these words will stand true. But very rarely are they uttered of the grace that fills up our lack.

Sadly all too often we say "He Knows My Heart" as a means of rejecting the truth, an excuse for not doing what He told us to.

It matters very little which aspects of reality we deem important when the Most High has already declared what has value to Him.

Is that truly the measure of our dedication. "I know what He told me but I'm gonna just do it my way instead and He can just go ahead and understand my intentions."

What danger we court with that attitude. Indeed He does know our hearts better than we ever will. But even a child would be able to know them by such flippant dismissal of the instructions.

What is the goal of all our good intentions after all? Are we aiming to make our own version of religion and tell our Heavenly Father He needs to get on board with whatever we think best? Or are we truly seeking to conform to what He told us in His Word?
