SEARCHED

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you and lead me along the path of everlasting life.” Psalms 139:23-24 NLT

Asking God to search my heart is scary. One, because I already know what's in my heart and two, because it makes me vulnerable. Asking God to search my heart is a posture of submission. He doesn't have to search my heart to know what is there. He created it and He knows what is in it better than I do. My faith can only grow when I am able to submit my will and my wants that are driven by my heart, to Him.

Lord I repent for choosing my way over yours. Show me how my heart fails you and begin to allow your grace and mercy to minister to places I have tried to hide from everyone including you.

Are you willing to ask God to search your heart or do you want to keep him from seeing it? If God searched for Adam and Eve in the Garden, I am certain He is still searching for us today. God already knew what had been done and still he chased after them? That story hasn't changed since the beginning, and He intensified the search for us when He sent Jesus to die for us.
