What does your heart look like?
What is the condition of your heart?
Have you just been playing church?
Are you just going through the motions?
Do you still have your religious mask on?
Are you ready to get real with God?
Playing church is only good for so long.
When God is in our life we are not to be self sufficient.
When we start to get real with God, He will unveil all those things that have hindered us.
It's sometimes called the onion effect.
God will peel off one layer at a time, sometimes it maybe painful, negative or even confining.
God's way leads to joy, freedom, victory.
It is the absolute surrender of our will to His will!
God's will, God's way is a lifestyle, a moment by moment.
How do I do that?
We need to let go of our hard outer shell of "self", and let God close to us.
We have to let Him diagnose our heart and let us see what we would not have been able to see.
Should you be concerned about your heart condition?
"Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts." Psalm 139:23
Would you lay upon the table of the Great Physician, and let Him examine your heart?
Would you let God purge you of all that infection in your body?
What infection?
That infection of arrogance, pride, self sufficiency, lying, cheating, being rebellious, hard-hearted, addictions, and all those other sinful things that plague your walk with God.
God will race to your side as you truly call for help and acknowledge your need for Him.
He gives grace to the humble.
For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy, I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones." Isaiah 57:15
"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you." I Peter 5:6-7
