40 Days of Prayer and Reflection - Lenten Moments; Jesus Knows What Is In Our Hearts

Focusing Scripture: John 2:13-25
"...When he was in Jerusalem during  the Passover festival, many believed in his name because they saw the signs that he was doing. But Jesus on his part would not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people and needed no one to testify about anyone; for he himself knew what was in everyone."

Theme: Jesus knows what is in our hearts.
Do you know anybody who can look right through you, into your
heart? Parents sometimes seem to have this uncanny ability: they can read the honesty (or lack of) on a child’s face or see through the put-on  cheerfulness to the hurt within. Husbands and wives, or best friends have this ability too. Jesus knows us even better than parents, husbands, wives or friends. He knows us inside and out. He knows what is in our hearts.

Jesus knows what is in our hearts. How do you feel about that today? Is there anything you need to do to set your heart right with Jesus?
