True Heart

What is in your heart? 

Is it love? Hate? hurt? Anger? It's time to deal with it and now. 

Luke 6:45  The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Jesus told us to keep his commandment. What was that commandment? It is to love one another as he has loved us. 

Well, how has He loved us? 

He came to earth to save us... the Whole reason for Him coming.... He loves us so much he DIED for us. Yeah, we've heard that so many times, it just goes over our heads. Let me tell you another way so you'll get how deep this is.

Think of someone in your life you love a lot. Not just a lot but so much that you can't even put it into words. Now, you and this person are in a prison situation that there is a cost for their freedom. The cost is your life. Now, to set them free.... do you love them enough to die for them? Could you & would you? 

Jesus Did. He loved you centuries before you ever were born and he did Die. He was Beaten. He suffered for our transgressions. He became sin to free us from sin.  Now, let that sink in. Imagine that kind of selfless love. 

How do we accept His love?

We simply just call out to Jesus! "Jesus! I need you! I need you and your love in my life! I want and need your freedom! I believe you Died for me! Jesus, be my Lord! Be my Savior!" And he will hear you.

As a Christian, It's a daily journey of renewing our Minds and Hearts. It's not easy, but it's worth it. What is in our hearts will be shown through our actions and our speech. 

Rom 12:2  Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. 

How do we renew our Minds?

We Pray. We read our Bible. We "pick up our cross and carry it daily"....

When we get a Glimpse of the Love Christ has for us, we can't help but love those around us. It will change our hearts, change our lives... change our thoughts. 

Now I Challenge you to watch 

"The Passion of the Christ"....

let it sink in. Let it change you to SEE what Love did for you.
