The heart is our organ of perception. As human beings, we naturally look to something or someone for our identity and sense of self-worth. And when we look to others for who we are, we create chaos, as we move towards that which brings us praise and away from that which we are told we are not good at or shouldn’t be. The perception of others dictates our way in the world.
These things are deep within us. Rock upon rock of our stone fortress has been built around our hearts for years. Our true self is hidden. Our worthiness feels nonexistent. Let’s get out of that stone wall and connect our true selves, our worthiness, to God.
Listen
“‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. 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. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you…”
Ezekiel 36: 24-27, NIV, the Bible
