I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a new heart of flesh. I will put My spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you will keep my judgments and do them. Ezekiel 36: 26-27 NKJV
This is what the Lord showed when I was having my devotion this morning. It may mean nothing to a lot of people but this verse means a lot to me when I heard of a good new. I don't have a big heart to accept the reality at first but I know I need to have the change of heart within myself to gradually accept it. Like someone ever told me, life is not handled by skills but by wills. If you want to do it, you surely can.
The heart of stone of rebellion, stubbornness and foolishness have to be taken out in exchange of His great love of forgiveness and acceptance. It was not easy, but I was more than willing to surrender. =]
I know you maybe reading this, thus I just like to use this chance to wish you all the best. =]
Anyway, the start of Prayer Meeting was great though it was a bit early. God never fails to cheer me on this monring when I thought I was going to be late and you will NEVER expect how and what it feels to have the Lord "disturbing" you when you are on your bed. He will knock at my heart and tell me, "dear, now is my time that you promised you will spend with me". God is a humorous God.
Looking ahead and not behind.
I am planning to write 52 sermons this year and read at least 12 books.
