The Heart

“Walking the line is not an outward act, yes it expresses itself outwardly… but it’s the inward person that drives the outward expression…

The heart is the whole of our intellect, emotions and will (another word used for it is the soul)…

The natural condition of humanity’s heart is contrary to God… God only desires what is good, and perfect, and beautiful…

God isn’t interested in a show… He knows our hearts… He desires that we would reflect His character… in the depths of our hearts, and in the actions of our hands…

Thank God we serve a God that Loves to restore broken, fallen man…

To be “born again” does not simply agreeing with some basic biblical truths, or paying our tithe, or being nice to that pastor… all of which are good, but they don’t save us… We must be born again, regenerated…

The confession of the mouth matters, but it must come from our hearts (our mind, will, and emotions) the center of our being must have faith in the work of Jesus Christ… as our heart confesses this truth, and truly believes it, life flows into and from our souls…

Love from the heart is necessary for following Him… when we try to follow Him from rituals and regulations our following is missing the driving force of genuine godliness… Many times trying to follow God in this way only leads to pride, self-righteousness, and eventually failure…

But following Jesus out of a heart of love, though we may falter at times, will always eventually lead us back to the loving relationship God desires for us to have with him…

Will you follow God… will you seek fall in love with your “first love”
