a kajillion times? once or twice?
let me share my little thoughts about this phrase.
in my fickle head, a change of heart is realizing the heartache you have caused others and yourself, and yearning to become more. it is receiving higher attention to the cuts and sores that seem to always ooze, no matter how many band-aids you yourself place.
a change of heart is surrendering your rebellious ways.
yes, I do have the heart I was born with. and yes, it has been changed, removed and worked on through my entire earthly existence by the tender hands of my Creator.
as we choose to follow the Master, we choose to be changed.
my Father in Heaven isn't trying to get me to do things.
He is trying to make me into something - something I myself nor you yourself can do alone.
these continuous "change of heart" moments are not easy, and i'm sure you agree.
I know one day I will be incredibly full of gratitude from head to toe for the times I realized I was wrong- for the times my sweet Savior softly chastised me.
He is my firefighter who puts out the scorching blaze in my heart.
He is my lifeguard who plunges for me when I seem to be drowning.
He is my teacher who over and over again teaches me that
there is NO "change of heart" finish line.
there is no "change of heart" finish line.
