I heard the Lord say:

The heart is as black as a coal seam underground
It obstructs Heaven’s goals and keeps them earthbound
Departing from My ways, it changes desires
Who can understand as it plots and conspires?

The heart has many doors that are locked and secure
You think its contents are concealed and obscure
There’s a way of escape through the mouth or the eyes
That lets others know its contents and lies

The motives of men’s hearts will be revealed on that day
When your thoughts and intents will be on display
If you judge yourself now, ask and I will forgive
Allow My Word to change your future narrative

Everything is uncovered and laid bare in My sight
You will give account of your life in My light
Make every effort to draw closer to Me
To pay for your sins, I died on Calvary

Jeremiah 17:9 – “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?”

1 Corinthians 4:5 – “Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.”

Psalm 139: 23-24 – “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”

Hebrews 4:11-13 – “Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.”

Matthew 13:1-23
Mark 7:20-23
Ezekiel 18:19-32
