STUBBORN HEART
A stone heart by nature inclines towards the temporary things, to the desires of the eyes, to the desires of the flesh and the vanity of this life. (1 John 2:16-17)
I would like to say that it’s easy to maintain a tender, sensitive, and people-loving heart, but the truth is that we ourselves don’t know the depths of our hearts. The Bible says that the heart is deceitful above all things. (Jer. 17:9-10)
Sometimes we try to do good things, but in reality, our motivations are inadequate because we have insecurities, fears, resentments, wounds in our hearts, etc.
Let’s reflect on this.
Think about it:
Where does your heart lean toward? Towards temporary things or eternal things?
Is your heart tender or has it hardened?
Have you asked God to search your heart?
