ST00305 - The inner vs the outer being

As humans we tend to categorize and judge others by outward appearances and behaviours, by what people look like, by what they say and how they behave.

Praise the Lord if you live in a place of relative freedom, in a country of democracy having a fair legal system that will judge those who do criminal things and a system that lets those live freely that have not done anything wrong. While human systems will never be perfect, yet praise the Lord if you can live under relatively good conditions.

God looks much deeper into each person’s heart: what are the person’s real intentions? Good or bad? Does a person really regret if having done wrong or only pretend?

Unlike human systems, God’s judgements are perfect and holy.
