“Search me, O God, and know my heart:
try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked
way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
Psalms 139: 23,24
King James Version
I have some bath towels that my sister gave me about six years
ago. They were very rough on my skin. The more I wash and dry them
and put fabric softener sheets in the dryer, the softer they become.
It has taken many fabric softener sheets to get them as soft as
they are now.
The same is true with our hearts, the beginning of softening our
hearts is when we ask Jesus to come into our heart and save us.
However, we have to keep going back to Jesus and ask Him to take
away all the harshness and anger from our heart. Sometimes, we
need to go more than once a day to Jesus and ask Him to soften
our heart.
How is your heart today? Is it soft so that
Jesus can work through you, or is it filled with things that
turn others away from Jesus? If you haven’t asked Jesus
to soften your heart today, then I urge you to go to Him and
ask Him to help you be the person He wants you to be.
Someone may be looking at your life today, perhaps your spouse,
children, grandchildren, or friends. Someone may be contemplating
suicide and you may be the one God wants to use. Allow Jesus to
soften your heart today. |
