Sadly, we often speak what we know about Jesus or sing along with rich theological truths at church, then live out our days with a lukewarm love for God and act in disobedience to his commands. We fly through life so quickly that we hardly even notice our sin, so there’s no chance to stop and repent. That's why we need to take intentional time to pause and reflect—we need to check our hearts.
A heart check is an intentional time of fellowship with God where you honestly consider the state of your heart, confess where you’ve fallen short, and ask God for help to grow in godliness.
+Consider what challenging, dark, or difficult circumstances you're facing
+Examine how you react to challenges in your life
+Practice confession and humbly ask God to transform your actions to reflect what you know is true
