Harden Not Our Hearts


Ours hearts must always be soft and tender in order to hear the voice of the Lord.  Unpleasant or harsh circumstances we face daily or unedifying words that we receive from people may harden our hearts over time.  We need to come before His throne to allow Him to work in us.  If we choose to harden our hearts, we will be like clogged pipes that prevent water to flow through.

The streams of water in us will not flow out to touch others, we will be as dead as the dead sea. The stagnancy and deadness of our lives will surely lead us to utter doom and gloom. This is the very reason why God desires to see us flourish, thrive and grow in Him so that we can be His extended hand to reach out to others. 

Lord, let our hearts remain soft and tender in You, let our hearts long for the courts of the Lord, let our hearts reach out to You all day long.
