Daily Devotion For Tuesday Thoughts with Total Apex Media | November 4, 2025

It’s Tuesday, and time for your daily devotion—our 1 John 3 series centers on love. The Love Apostle is all about making sure believers have sincere love and demonstrate it daily. The condition of your heart matters. It represents your spirit, which can be filled with God or with iniquity. In verses 20-21, John implores believers to check their hearts:

²⁰ For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. ²¹ Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

Let today’s daily devotion prompt you to trust the One who is greater and knows all things.

A Condemning Heart

The Living Bible translates the word heart as “conscience.” John speaks of feeling guilty from self-accusation. When your heart condemns you or you have a guilty conscience, you know you’ve violated God’s command. You feel the weight of that, which reveals that you’re God-conscious. Your heart desires to do right, but sin has caused a breach in fellowship.

A condemning heart should lead you to repentance, bringing you closer to God. John says in 1 John 1:9 that if we confess our sins, God is faithful to forgive us. In today’s daily devotion, commit to turning to God in repentance if your heart condemns you.

A Great God

God knows you intimately and better than you know yourself. If your heart condemns you, God knows and feels it even more. The Amplified Classic version says He knows everything, and there’s nothing hidden from Him. In Psalm 139, David says God is everywhere, and he can’t escape His presence.  God isn’t present to condemn you, but a condemning heart is leading you to Him.

God offers forgiveness and restoration. When Adam and Eve sinned against God, they hid at the sound of His voice. Yet a loving Father doesn’t want us to hide from Him, but to turn to Him in repentance. The enemy wants to deceive you into seeing God as the big bad wolf. It’s a lie. In your daily devotion, proclaim that you will run toward the God who is greater than your sin.

An Uncondemning Heart

When you’re on the right track as a believer, your heart doesn’t condemn you. Some people think God is always pointing a finger, scolding, and punishing them in anger. That may be their perception based on other relationships, but that’s not God’s nature. John tells us in 1 John 4:17 that God is love. There’s nothing about love that fits that description.

God accepts us and helps us to keep going higher. Some people even think that sin is normal, unavoidable, or natural. But you have a new nature; you’re born of God’s Spirit. You can live free from sin and condemnation. In Tuesday’s daily devotion, rejoice that you can have an uncondemning heart.

Confident Toward God

When your heart doesn’t condemn you, your confidence as a believer soars. You love God and walk before Him with a pure heart. Don’t let others project condemnation on you by bringing up your past or pointing out mistakes. Romans 8:1 says, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

Hebrews 13:6 directs you to come boldly or confidently to God’s throne of grace. Confidence and condemnation don’t coexist. In today’s daily devotion, rejoice that your heart does not condemn you.

Final Word

In your daily devotion, know that God doesn’t condemn you. If your heart condemns you, it’s leading you to God. He will forgive you when you ask. David committed adultery and murder. His heart condemned him before God, yet he cried out with a contrite heart. And God forgave him. In this daily devotion, know that your heart can lead you to repentance and confidence in God.
