It all comes down to these things: Heart & Motives.
Although we can not judge others heart and motives, we can take responsibility for our own heart and motives. Others may not even know why we do what we do, but we do. When it comes to the big issues that we face or our life decisions, I realize that our heart & motives are the two factors that speak loudest to answer the WHY question. Stepping back and asking yourself why you do what you do is a vital part of living an honest life. These are also the things that God is concerned with. Doesn't 1 Samuel tell us the story of how "man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart?" (1 Samuel 16:7). A pure heart is one that pursues godliness. God is always speaking about the condition of the heart.
I have been challenged to consider this verse: "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life" (Proverbs 4:23).
