Ezekiel 36:26-27 and I will give you a new heart and I'll put a new spirit in you. I'll take out your stony stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. And I'll put my spirit in you so that you will follow My decrees and be careful to obey My regulations.
Ezekiel prophesied what God would do for us modern day Christians. Jeremiah 24:7 I will make them want to know me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people and I will be their God because they will return to me with their whole hearts. I believe Jesus wants to create a new heart in you as well as me.
A heart full of his love and grace. A heart that knows God and lives wholeheartedly for Him. God is working throughout the earth to save, to heal, to deliver and to love people into his kingdom. He draws us into deeper heart connection with him so we can hear his voice and share his heart for mankind on this earth.
We really are his hands and feet. Take a minute and ask yourself, is there something in your life causing you to run too fast? Is there something making you too busy that you're running and you're not listening? You're not fully engaged in pursuing God and relationship with him and then doing things with Him?
Take a minute to think through that and if there is, pray about it. Pray this prayer with me if you're ready to make this commitment. Father, remove any hardness in my heart. Remove from me my heart of stone and give me a new heart, tender and responsive to your every nudge.
Give me a heart open to hear your still small voice, a heart responsive to your nudges. I'll go anywhere and do anything you tell me to do. Thank you Lord for giving me a tender, responsive heart. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
