Since the heart is only known by God, how can we be SURE?

I just wish I could get that settled in my mind, especially for myself.......

And I'm still trying to remember that I'm not the judge of others.

HO, it is hard to forget, but I have found that truly forgiving someone goes a long ways toward forgetting. We are human and constantly falling short of our perfect standing with God. Understanding the state and standing of the believer helps a person to be less judgmental and more compassionate in dealing with others. See the posts I made in The Be Perfect thread.
