Ezekiel 36:26 (NKJV) 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
So many people have tried to make it in this life by doing things on their own and in their own way, doing whatever they please and loving it that way.
And yes, in some areas it may seem like they did pretty good on their own. But in other areas they dislike the way they handle themselves in their decision-making.
Their wanting to answer to no one has kept them from living a better life. It has kept them from knowing, and walking in, the greatest LOVE of all.
The good news, though, is that as long as we are breathing and still alive, we can change this in a heartbeat.
It doesn’t matter how old we are or how long we have lived this way. We can give up this stony heart and receive the heart that God has for us.
It is impossible to live this life without God and be truly happy and content.
The man who walks with a hard heart is miserably taunted, depressed and lonely. This man hurts in many ways, and he can’t fix it. He has assured himself many times, thinking this is all there is to life. The hardness of his own heart has determined his life and destiny.
When we walk with God, we are not perfect and our life isn’t perfect. But He takes our hard heart and softens it, and we become more like Him.
We care more; that right there is HUGE! That will make us change in so many ways. When we can take ourselves and put “us” aside, watch out!
We also begin to love bigger! What? Love bigger? That’s right, we begin to love someone and don’t even understand why. It just begins to take root in us and we just follow along. It’s a beautiful thing to experience.
When we walk with God, we walk in His blessings each day as we obey Him. We are happier and full of His JOY. No matter what comes our way, He will get us through it.
What a difference He makes when He touches our heart. Thank you God, we receive YOUR touch today! Amen.
