We
are commanded to love God with all we have and the heart comes in to play
foremost. Heart and mind, heart, and soul, heart and strength - It’s all about
HEART! Use this acrostic H.E.A.R.T. to help remind you how to serve and love
God to His utmost and highest
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 it’s the whole world.
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 valuable and has a plan for
your life. Your reluctance can be a slingshot for great and mighty things if
you put your faithful and obedient heart in to it.
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.
Ultimately
it’s all about the heart. How does God want to use yours?
Pray
today and see what that looks like. Amen?
