People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
– 1 Samuel 16:7 (NLT)
“I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.”
– Jeremiah 17:10 (NLT)
…Grant forgiveness according to each person’s heart, for You know the heart of every man. You, and only You, know every heart
– 1 Kings 8:38-39 (VOICE)
Sitting across from the offering box, He was observing how the crowd tossed money in for the collection. Many of the rich were making large contributions. One poor widow came up and put in two small coins—a measly two cents. Jesus called His disciples over and said, “The truth is that this poor widow gave more to the collection than all the others put together. All the others gave what they’ll never miss; she gave extravagantly what she couldn’t afford—she gave her all.”
– Mark 12:41-44 (MSG)
And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve Him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.
– 1 Chronicles 28:9 (NIV)
…for He knows the secrets of every heart.
Psalm 44:21
