God knows the truth

Have you been guilty of speaking against someone and have not realized how it may have hurt them. Then when someone speaks against you, you suddenly realize how deeply such words hurt, and you become sensitive to what you have done.

If you have been mistreated, cheated or deceived, and if your heart has been right all along, be assured that God knows this.

God will eventually vindicate you, but in the meantime you should be confidently aware that God knows the truth concerning what has happened to you. He knows if your heart has been right.

Psalm 139 : 23
"Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts"

Genesis 31:1-7
And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory. And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before. And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee. And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock, And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me. And ye know that with all my power I have served your father. And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
