Every
soul experiences heartbreaks. They accumulate and develop tentacles that reach
deep into our whole being. Particularly painful is the regret associated with
perceived failures. Heartbreaks, failures and the remorse they foster do us no
good unless they become motivation for learning and growth. People often let heartbreaks
simmer too long which leads to hardening of the heart, but heartaches placed
into the Master’s hands become pathways for spiritual progress. Lord, You make
all things new. I’m joyfully growing one heartache at a time. Help me not miss
a thing in this process.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
