Soft Heart

Soft and Sensitive
This was a portion of my devotional this morning.

When we give our lives to God, He puts a sense of right and wrong deep within our conscience. But if we rebel against our conscience too many times, we can become hard-hearted. If that happens, we need to let God soften our hearts so that we can be spiritually sensitive to the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
I was very hard-hearted before I began really fellowshipping with God. Being in His presence regularly softened my heart and made me much more sensitive to His voice. Without a heart sensitive to the touch of God, we will not recognize many of the times He is speaking to us. He speaks gently, in a still, small voice, or with gentle conviction about a matter.

A hard-hearted person is also in danger of hurting other people and not even being aware that they are doing so, and this grieves the heart of God. Those who are hard-hearted and busy "doing their own thing" will not be sensitive to God's will or voice. God wants to soften our hearts with His Word, because a hardened heart cannot hear His voice or receive the other many blessings He longs to give.
God's word for you today: Keep your heart soft and sensitive to God's voice.

How many times have i been made aware of doing my own thing, or doing it on my own... I cannot do this without an hour passing, a minute passing and being reminded of Him. I have been hard hearted and hard headed since i have known what it means. I struggle with it all the time. I dont want my way, i need my way.

But my way will NOT be the RIGHT way until it is HIS way. I can know physically and mentally feel the effects of me not getting my time with Christ. All things click through Him.

 Ezekiel 11:19 I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh
