I will be the first to tell you that I am far, FAR, from being the person that I should be. I truly strive daily to be more and more like my SAVIOR, but, unfortunately, even on my best day, I still mess it up royally. All I can do is ask forgiveness and try not to mess it up again.
On the other hand, there are those that just seem to fight GOD and His precepts and commandments, and they don't seem to mind at all. I've often wondered how some people can be as evil as they are, how some can do some of the things they do, and still carry on a life and sleep at night. While some truly do have some mental deficiencies, others have a heart problem.
Today's word is Ezekiel 36:26, NIV, which reads,"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."
For some, they have hardened their hearts so much that they truly have a heart of stone. And, it is not just stone, it is impenetrable stone. No matter what you tell them, no matter what they see, no matter who they hurt, nothing seems to penetrate that heart of stone. Why? Because it is stone, and it will take something, no SOMEONE, more powerful to overcome it.
My prayer is that those who don't know my SAVIOR will one day have a true encounter with the One that can penetrate the hardest of hearts. I pray that everyone, no matter how evil they may be, will come face to face with the One that can change things. He will renew our hearts. He will renew our spirit. He can do anything. He is the stone crusher!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
