Soften Our Hearts

The best soil absorbs water readily so plants can grow healthily. Our hearts like rich soil easily absorb water to quench our thirst for the Lord. 

When the Lord speaks, our hearts cry out to respond to His voice.

We live by His Word. We draw from the river of the Spirit of God.

We cry out for the continual softening of our hearts. Our brokenness and contriteness lead us deeper into the grace of the Lord. 

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 with all of their heart, soul and mind.
