Sincerity of heart

Lately, what been on my mind is the sincerity of our hearts when we worship or pray to God. Are we being like pharisees and showing people how good we are and then when we are alone, we do our sins in secret? Isn't the church a hospital for the broken instead of a museum for the good people. Shouldn't we boast in our weaknesses because that where God covers in His strength?

I have observe my own heart lately and prayed Lord, seek my heart and take things that shouldn't be there! I have found things in my own self and I have realized I do act like a pharisee in some ways. I want to show others Jesus, but sometimes I can take it to far.

I just thank God He has more grace and mercy on me then I do on others sometimes. He has to humble me multiple times to show me that I am only where I am because of Him alone! I don't earn nothing from Him because He has already earned it for me! And to remember that Jesus despised the pharisee and blessed the humble. Here's a few scriptures where Jesus talks to the Pharisees in Matthew 23

             Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. ²⁶ Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.²⁷ “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. ²⁸ In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.²⁹ “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. ³⁰ And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ ³¹ So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. ³² Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started!
³³ “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? 

Also Jesus tells the Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican in Luke 18:9-14,
 9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: ¹⁰ “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. ¹¹ The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people, robbers, evildoers, adulterers,or even like this tax collector. ¹² I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’¹³ “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’¹⁴ “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

So humble yourself before the Lord and remember no matter how good you've done, Jesus has done greater!
