YOUR REAL HEART
Did you know that God is worried about the shape of your heart? He cares what it looks like. He cares how it’s doing. He cares how it is taking care of your entire body and mind. And no, I’m not talking about the physical, beating heart that is in your chest. Yes, of course that heart is important during your short stay in this body on earth. But what I’m talking about is your REAL heart. What REALLY keeps you alive and well. How’s it doing? Does it just go with the flow of everything that enters it? What is it lead by? Is it in the right place? Is there goodness in there? Forgiveness? Sympathy? What’s it look like? Is it black? Or is it a deep healthy red? Examine your heart today, give it a checkup just the same as you would your humanly heart. What shape is it in? Ask yourself: Where IS my heart? What takes up the most room in it? Is it bitter? Maybe……sour? Negative? Hateful? Resentful? Does it look for the bad in others and then POUNCE? Or is it full of love, compassion, understanding, forgiveness, empathy, sympathy, and joy? Does your heart give to others? Does it just look out for itself, or does it look out for those in need? Is there a spot in there for Jesus? A little bit of room, when it’s convenient? Or does He occupy all of it? God cares about the shape of your heart. That matters to him, very much so. God wants to bring you and your heart into His Light. He loves you more than you can possibly understand. The compassion and pride for you as His Child is indescribable and transcends all understanding. Our minds cannot fathom just how much He cares for us. He is not a God that hates you or is waiting for you to mess up! He doesn’t want to throw you into a burning pit for eternity. No, my friends, not at all. HE LOVES YOU. And He cares about the shape of your heart. Let Jesus in there today and give him some room to work. Seek Him. Allow God to mold and shape your heart into something beautiful. Examine your heart today and let God change your life forever. HABD & GIG! -Matt McMillen
