HEART

  NEW HEART:   "WORTH CONSIDERING"  6/15/18   (across my desk today)    Today’s Scripture  "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."  (Ezekiel 36:26, NIV)  	  In life, we all have negative things that happen to us. We go through situations that are unfair. I know people who were raised in an unhealthy environment. Their parents had issues, and now it’s making life much more difficult on them.    But here is the truth: when you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, He gives you a new heart. In other words, your bloodline changes. No longer are you subject to your earthly heritage; you become subject to your heavenly heritage! His spiritual blessing always overrides the curse in the natural realm. When you understand who you are and what God has already done, then no matter what someone else did, no matter how unfair it was, no matter how you were raised, you won’t get bitter. You won’t live with a chip on your shoulder. You realize that nothing can stop you from fulfilling your God-given destiny!    Today, remember you came from Almighty God. He gave you life. When you choose Him, you are choosing your heavenly heritage of blessing and eternal, abundant life!    A Prayer for Today  "God in heaven, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, so that I may be saved. Today I surrender every area of my life to You. Have Your way in me; let Your will be done in my life. Thank You for making me new in Jesus’ name. Amen."    Quotes,  I thought the second one by C.S. Lewis had some real meat in it.

It is more a question with me whether we --   who have the Gospel and fail to give it to those who have not --   can be saved." - Charles Spurgeon    "A thing is not necessarily true because badly uttered, nor false  because spoken magnificently." - Augustine    "The surest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft  underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without  signposts." - C.S. Lewis    "Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that   will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility."   - Augustine    "God doesn't call the equipped; He equips the called Who obey." - Anonymous    "If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most   for the present world were precisely those who thought most of   the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the   other world that they have become so ineffective in this." - C.S. Lewis    "If men can get to heaven by being good then the death of Christ   is the worst waste in human history." - Dr. Toussaint
