we have been dealing with the 6th beatitude. matthew 5.8 (ms), you're blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. then you can see GOD in the outside world.
so let’s do a SPIRITual heart checkup. what is the condition of your heart? some of you have a broken heart. and it's hurting.
some of you have a hard heart. you've had so much bitterness and resentment in your life for so long, you've let it pile up and you have a stony, hard heart and nothing can break through. your husband can't get close to you or your wife can't get close to you. nobody can get close to you. you've allowed your heart to be hardened.
some of you have a divided heart. you're trying to serve GOD one way on sunday and the devil on monday. you're trying to please many different people. you act one way with one group of people, other ways with other groups of people. it's divided and no wonder you're not happy. let GOD give you a new heart.
isn't it time you stopped pretending that you're really happy and you're not? isn't it time you stopped pretending that you're following CHRIST when you're only doing it half heartedly if at all? would you come to GOD and say, "ok, GOD, i need a new heart." happiness is from the inside out. happiness is a heart condition.
just a thought from the front porch…
