Give thanks

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.”1 Chronicles‬ ‭16‬:‭34‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The Lord is good, He has never changed, we do. Our hearts become hard through the deceitfulness of sin. Sin comes along in hard attitudes towards others, especially when rejected. Rejection is personal, it hurts. To protect ourselves we harden our hearts and before long there is no compassion. Compassion is needed to feel God’s heart.

What is God doing? He is pouring out His Spirit in response to repentant hearts. Repentance draws His presence to us. Repentance and faith are attractive to our God.

Faith towards Him creates a room for miracles. Miracles open hearts to the gospel. The greatest miracle is salvation, a new heart. 

Oh Father we come in repentance and ask for your presence, Father fill us with Your Spirit, fill us with Your heart for the lost. May we take you to the broken and hurting. Amen!
