Some people think that because they go to church, sing in the choir and tithe that they will get a blessing from God. When the blessing that they are looking for does not come, they get frustrated and sad asking the Lord,"Lord, I do all these things but yet I am still suffering!" I say, "Stand back and take a look at your REAL life!". Are you really doing what God wants you to do or are you frontin' like you are. God sees what is on the inside of you, while man sees what is on the outside. On the outside, you may be the "Perfect" christian but your heart can be another way. You could be smiling and greeting everyone in the church, but when you see a poor person you walk away from them or tell them to leave you alone. You could be paying your tithes, but not paying your debt you owe. Your heart could be the reason why you do not receive the blessings that you "think" you "deserve". Just because you are doing what the Bible says to do, that does not mean that your heart is in the right place. Next time before you cry and complain that you are doing everything right and receiving nothing, stand back look at your life and do a Heart Check, to make sure you are doing it for the right reasons and living the right way.
1 Samuel 16:7: "But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart."
