For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
Even when your own heart is calling you out and making you feel guilty about stuff, God is bigger than those feelings and knows the full picture of who you are.
Your guilt doesn't get the final say, God sees the whole you, not just your mistakes.
