You Show Yourself

Psalms 18:25-28 ESV

25 With the merciful you show yourself merciful; 

with the blameless man you show yourself blameless; 

26 with the purified you show yourself pure; 

and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous. 

27 For you save a humble people, 

but the haughty eyes you bring down. 

28 For it is you who light my lamp; 

the Lord my God lightens my darkness. 

The nature of the heart informs the eyes of a man. It is God Who brings light to the darkness of the heart. It is He that purifies. Through His mercy we can be merciful. 

What we think of God often speaks more about us than Him. That is why He can look different, even though He does not change.
