Ezekiel 36:26-31
New International Version (NIV)
26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. 28 Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God. 29 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine upon you. 30 I will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field, so that you will no longer suffer disgrace among the nations because of famine. 31 Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your sins and detestable practices.
A new heart? How is it possible to be given a new heart after all the things I have done? That's what is so humbling about God.... He sacrificed His son (yea yea I know you are tired of hearing that but just listen and breathe in these words) God gave His son so that we could live. SO THAT WE CAN LIVE! People it's so easy yet we make it so hard. We have a heavenly father that loves us so much and has scars to prove it. All He wants is our heart... He is reaching out with open arms no matter what you have done no matter where you are in life He wants to rescue you! How amazing is that ?!?
I'm going through this process of giving my life back to Him fully & it's not easy I won't lie. I have developed bad habits that are difficult to break and I have allowed a lot of resentment and bitterness and anger into my soul but Jesus is changing me and I can feel it! I'm excited! Today I was peeling an orange and I thought to myself this is my life right now...Jesus is slowly peeling away all the "build up" I have in my heart. Layer by layer He is tearing down my walls. What a beautiful thing.
Christ asks you for nothing-
Come just as you are;
Come sinful, come guilty,
Come sinful, come guilty,
Come give Him your heart -Anon
