Michael’s writing in this post speaks directly to
what all are seeing played out all around the world. Even though he wrote this years ago, perhaps
we are experiencing it in multitudinous ways as never before.
Every day I see someone’s heart revealed in a way that
I never expected to see.

The Revelation Of The Heart
But
because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for
yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God. --Romans 2:5
In
these times we are not creating hearts as much as watching them be revealed. It
is the time for the revelation of hearts all around us.
When someone says, “I cannot believe in a God that allows suffering,” that
person’s heart is being revealed. He knows that God did not cause the
suffering, but he is taking the occasion to blame Him. If He did take away
suffering, do we honestly think that such a person would immediately repent and
turn to Jesus? No, the statement or the event is simply a revelation of the
heart. We will be surprised in heaven to discover all that God has done for
suffering people. Just as the heart of His own Son was revealed in hardship, so
have many others’ hearts been. In a place where there has been persecution,
that type of suffering accelerates the revelation of the heart and allows us to
see men for what they really are. “I see men, for I see them like trees walking
around,” said the man being healed from his blindness. Do you know the hearts of those around you?
They are not revealed in comfort. One day you might see that those you thought were enemies are friends
and those believed to be friends were enemies. It is the time for the revelation of hearts.

God tells us in Romans ch.2 that there are folks whose heart is stubborn
and unrepentant. That is a sad, sad
state to be in. For God gives the end result
of that heart.
As Believers, we have a New Heart…His…to live by if we choose to allow
Him access to our daily life.
It is quite easy with our New Heart to discern what heart those around
us have. It is really sad to find those
we believed to be friends were enemies.
But, how wonderful to discover those we thought were enemies are
actually friends. Amen.
