On the Heart

"The life of a Christian ought to be adorned with all virtues,

that he may be on the inside what he appears to be on the outside.

And it should be even better on the inside than on the outside,

for God is a discerner of our hearts."

- Thomas á Kempis

"For the LORD does not see as man sees:

for man looks at the outward appearance, 

but the LORD looks at the heart.”

- I Samuel 16:7

"For the word of God is living and powerful, 

and sharper than any two-edged sword, 

piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow,

 and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

- Hebrews 4:12
