Soften Our Hearts

The best soil absorbs water readily so plants can grow healthily. Our hearts are like rich soil that easily absorb water. The Lord quenches our thirst. 

When the Lord speaks, our hearts cry out to respond to His voice. Our ears are inclined to the voice of His Spirit.

We live by His Word. We draw from the river of God. We are immersed in the river of great delight.

We cry out to the Lord for the continual softening of our hearts. Our brokenness and contriteness lead us deeper into the grace of God. Lord, let our hearts be tender and soft like Yours.

God opens our ears to hear Him. He opens our eyes to see Him. He softens our hearts so that we can feel Him.

He makes us rest on the greenest and softest pasture. We abide in the shadow of His wings.

He fills us with His goodness and grace unceasingly. His mercies never fail.

The blessings of the Lord are prepared for those who seek Him. Blessed are those whose God is the Lord.
