Every soul experiences heartbreaks. Heartaches 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,
change 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. Use me as healing balm to others whose hearts are broken.
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.
