You Got to have Heart

We've all heard - No pain - no gain! It's in the "doing" that makes us stronger. So today let's ask the question;   How can I strengthen my heart for God?

It’s all about HEART!

Hands that are open before God.  If your hands are open saying, Father, these are ordinary hands but I want You to use these hands in this life to be able to touch the life of another. Are your hands open before God? 

Experienced in connecting with others.  Not forever but at least for a while.  But it is not just about being in community and experiencing community…

Available to be used by the Father.  That’s ultimately the purpose and the path of life.  Would you be available?  Are you?

Reluctant to be used can be a good thing!  As you look at the character of David, Jonah, or look at the character of Moses who had five good reasons why he didn’t think he would be God’s man for the moment.  God said you are. 

Teachable spirit.  Are you willing to listen? We need people who are willing to be teachable and responsive to God.  Like the clay that is on the potter’s wheel being willing to be brought into something magnificent beyond what they can do on their own. 

 How does God want to use yours? What does that look like?

Be wise today and always - ultimately it’s all about the heart.
