1 John 3:21

Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.

Heart check? Or is it listening?  Remember as a child, and you start to test your wings and believe you know a thing or two. Then, your parents try to step in and warn you that maybe what you’re doing isn’t the best idea.  Heart check?  Or motive check?  Either way, consequences follow our actions whether we want to acknowledge it or not. Regret is a powerful teacher and picking up the pieces of something broken implies that we have to throw something away that was wasted.  “We have confidence toward God” only when we listen to our heart and head the correction before we have to pick up the pieces.
