Jesus Says It's Your Heart God Watches

If your heart is rotten, everything thing you do is zero. Some biblical religious leaders criticized Jesus for not strictly enforcing the ritual of hand washing before eating. Simply put, they believed it's what we do, not who we really are, that mattered to God. In my younger years, I thought being active in church was everything. I was elected to top positions. I became an associate pastor, and later the main pastor of a big church. But one day God told me He didn't care one bit about what I did or accomplished in church. He was not interested about how well I sang there or how many ministries I handled. He said He watched me particularly well in my unguarded moments outside the church. How I lived my life in the world with non-believers and how my heart behaved there were what He really noted. It's not what enters us but what exits from our hearts that God watches. From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Since then, I gave up religion. I just paid close attention to His Word in my heart.
