Can I be honest?
This week, I realized I need a new heart.
Not the kind that requires a hospital bed, but the kind only God can give.
So many people go through struggles and are taught to keep everything hidden, to suffer in silence, and never let anyone know what they're facing. That's not my story. The Bible tells us to call for the elders and pray, and that's exactly what I did.
I love the Lord with all my heart, but I also have daily battles that I must surrender to Him. I'm not perfect, and this week I had to face an uncomfortable truth: my heart was beginning to turn to STONE toward someone.
As I prayed and searched the Scriptures, a question settled deeply into my spirit:
"Do you want your heart to stay this way, or do you wish it were different?"
That question revealed more about my spiritual condition than I wanted to admit.
The beautiful thing about God is that He doesn't leave us where He finds us. He specializes in heart transplants.
"I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." Ezekiel 36:26
Today, my prayer isn't that God changes someone else. My prayer is that He changes me. That He softens what has become hard, heals what has been wounded, and makes my heart look more like His.
If you're carrying hurt, bitterness, disappointment, or unforgiveness, you're not alone. Bring it to Jesus. He is still in the business of giving people new hearts.
