“Although our hearts condemn us, we can still reassure our hearts before God, for God is greater than our hearts and knows everything. Beloved, if (our) hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in God.” (1 John 3:20-21)

Condemnation by our conscience is the door to the road of righteousness. It is true that “if (our) hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in God”. If we blame ourselves too much, however, is unhealthy because Jesus has already redeemed our sins by the precious blood that poured out from His sacred wounds.

“We can still reassure our hearts before God, for God is greater than our hearts.” Since we are not used to forgive others, we think that God will also treat us the same way. Thanks be to God, for His heart is greater than ours.

How should we live? When our minds are disturbed, reflect on whether we have place God before everything in our life, and whether we have followed His will. When we are over-worried, we should temporarily set aside all the worries and concentrate on our work. When we try our very best to practice God’s will, the Holy Spirit will plant the seeds of peace in our hearts.
