Allow Me to reveal your heart to you – I would lead you in what is true

I know there is this tendency within to judge another’s character of heart based on what they do — as if their actions always follow their heart. Regardless of how reprehensible their actions can be I recognize that they may be acting out of a regard for orders from a higher authority, or a survivor mentality, even against their own moral compass — within a place of fear. It is, I believe, why You asked for their forgiveness “for they know not what they do”.

I think I may be doing to them in ways I believe that they are doing to me — and that leads to treating others as objects, to categorizing them based on my observations of them, whether by what I see, or hear, or any other sense. I know that ‘senses’ rarely reveal the truth of the heart. And I know in many ways I apply this ‘objectifying’ to You too — based on what I think I see, hear, or sense — then ‘You must be this way’. Your words have revealed to me that You are ‘not this way’ — that You have revealed a heart of love, compassion, forgiveness, restoration — all ways that are relational, heart connected, and oneness.

I would ask for a greater awareness of another’s heart, the true character and manner of a person, the deeper meaning of relationship of another, not as a matter of judgment, or categorizing even in this way — but for a true, giving response to what I may see within. I also know a great part of my response to others is based on the rapid sense observation of another’s actions, in word or deed, without a pause to even consider what might be the truth. I would like to allow myself a moment of true insight.

It is a wondrous thing, this insight as you mention, that the heart may be truly revealed from one to another. Even in the revelation of My heart you perceive it with just a modest amount of understanding, as you interpret what you hear in the same way from Me as you would others. Sometimes even this revelation, though truthful, may not have your full understanding. Yet, your desire for the truth is a trait to be desired within, and I would give that to you, for it is how you will learn to become that which you are, and not what you believe you see.

As for the revelation of another’s heart to you: I protect those insights of another even as I would protect you — but I can give to you that which would allow one to be lifted, restored, and encouraged. To reveal another’s pain is reserved to Me, and therefore, what you would seek in your true understanding of another can only be revealed through Me. In this way you gain wisdom, and understanding, yet can also move with compassion and healing.

It is a true statement — “do not judge, that you are not judged” — yet difficult for you to put into practice, for you have lived a life of preservation on the reverse of this statement. Yet, you are now of Me and can see that there is only one true judge of the human heart, and that is the One who has created it. Still, I understand your desire to act differently, and that will come from being near to Me.

I would lead you in what is true, in the same manner that I understand and know your heart: one of protection, newness within creation, in wisdom and knowledge, and understanding; one in freedom and prosperity; and one in might, that what would be revealed within would be expressed through and without, that all would be as one, even as we are one.

This is one of the great desires that is available to all — beyond the personal desire, beyond the personal satisfaction, beyond even one’s own perception of their heart within — has any man understood his own heart? Or does he judge himself in the same manner as he judges another? Allow Me to reveal your heart to you, and in that process you will understand as the heart of another is revealed to you too.
