I wasn't sure where to place this so I hope it is ok here.
God Bless you and yours.
How important is a softened heart? How should we stand in Victory of that condition given?
We are told to renew our thoughts, do it often. We are told to focus on things which are edifying and we are told to sin no more, and to live a life of service. We are told to remain as a child, teachable and humble. I think the softened heart is our biggest strength, but it is not in our power but in His.
Doesn't that eternal life we are given speak to a nature that is changed forever more. Aren't we told a new spirit and heart are given? Doesn’t the integrity of the changed condition all come down to forgiveness for our sins and then the capacity to genuinely love and forgive more, in word, thought and action?
A softened heart cares more, and thus will probably labor more in that invested state. When I think of success, I think of overcoming in Him.
Not allowing dark thoughts, pride, ego, selfishness, loss, physical pain, guilt, anger, sin, or anything build walls around that beautiful softened heart requires our resolve in Him. If everyday we have to wrestle like Jachob to deny ourselves, our feelings and our thoughts that don't line up with the will of His, it is so worth it. The priceless and precious heart that He has placed in us is not ours but His.
Everytime someone steps up to the plate to fulfill a need, to contribute in whatever way. Everytime we forgive ourselves and others. Everytime we don’t give up on Him, or ourselves and the value of loving others, we see Himself revealed in the softened heart.
Love you brothers and sisters, in Him
