What grieves the heart of God should also grieve the hearts of His faithful followers. When we rationalize practices that clearly violate God’s character, we should ask ourselves, “how can this be”? “What is it about me that I see this differently than God”? “What am I missing”? Only then will we ask God to lift the veil of deception from our eyes, to search our own heart, then be willing to make any necessary changes to realign our heart with His.
11 I have cried until the tears no longer come; my heart is broken. My spirit is poured out in agony as I see the desperate plight of my people. Little children and tiny babies are fainting and dying in the streets.
Lamentations 2:11
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.24 Point out anything in me that offends You, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
Psalms 139:23-24
