Hearts
can be hardened like stone and we have all heard the term” heart of ice.”
As
I sat pondering this verse these are the things that came to me: We are called to pour out our hearts before
him but how can we do that if our heart is like ice or stone?
Ice
can be warmed and melted with heat from the sun. Stone can also be liquefied by a much higher
heat from the center of the earth.
Melting ice or liquefying stone takes time; it is a process and if they
are allowed to get cold, they will harden once again.
Let
the warmth of God’s love heat and melt your heart of ice, let the deep warmth
of God’s love liquefy your heart of stone.
He is our refuge and trusting in him, we can become like a glass of
clear refreshing water; his living water flowing in our hearts. We can become like lava, liquid rock on fire
with the love of our Lord God. Soften
your heart and allow God to cleanse and purify you.
When
we put our trust in Him He is our refuge.
Whenever we need to come back into his loving arms for renewal, for
forgiveness, for protection from the storms, He is there. Come into His presence, trusting in Him. Pour out your hearts as I pour out mine
knowing we will be changed and blessed because of it.
Lord,
Strengthen my
trust in you. Sometimes I come in
trepidation and fear; you are an awesome God.
Your word tells us over and over about your love for us. Soften my heart, remove the fear and damage,
and melt me completely so you can transform me.
Liquefy my heart for you Lord.
Amen.
