Refreshed hearts
Many of us have given Our hearts to the Lord, we have repented of sin And many have forsaken their old wicked ways and amen! That is for the glory of God. However we have given the Lord dried up hearts locked up by doubt, shame, guilt, unbelief and so many other hindrances.
- Beloved a joyful and transformed fresh heart produces a new and powerful song of worship unto the Lord! Oh what we would give to know the exact song that Paul & Silas were worshipping the Lord with during that midnight hour in prison.
- We have to learn to receive from the Lord the gift of his Holy Spirit to begin to live a truly joyful, fruitful and productive life unto the Lord. He wants to equip us to overcome, to persevere, to remain in Him and in the joy and flow of His Spirit.
- Are we fulfilled with our lives before the Lord at this moment? What are we doing about it?
Let us seek his face...

...to meditate
That we would meditate more and more in the wonderful things that our Lord has done and is doing for and through us. To Jesus be the glory for giving us such a great gift as this! May he help us in his grace to persevere and remain faithful till His coming (which is so soon) your word says oh Lord that you are able to keep us blameless until you return.
Lay it Down
We must lay our auto-struggles to be holy and our weaknesses in the same place we laid our sins when we first believed, at the feet of Jesus Christ.
My complete victory is in a complete surrender to His complete work on the cross of Calvary. I have nothing to cling or hold on to in myself, only failure comes when I lean on myself
,oh sweet delivering power of Jesus! How blessed are those who cast themselves upon your saving grace and powerful cleansing blood, what may come we are certain that only blessings can come from you, my soul praises you Holy Lord, I am thankful for the freedom you've given us. Help us to live with surrendered hearts through the power of your holy name.

Concerning Repentance
Every day of rebellion drives us further and further from God and makes it harder to return to the relationship that we need to have with our heavenly Father. Make the choice to repent, admit the responsibility of your actions and turn from them. Repentance involves our entire being
- change of mind -come to our senses
- emotion - feel the dirt of sin
- the will - arise and seek forgiveness

To ponder
How do I identify with Christ? just historically, emotionally, mentally or according to Romans 6? feel free to comment.

What a Challenge
Jeremiah 17:9 says “ The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?"
God knows our hearts. The "heart" of a person includes one's thoughts, feelings, and what makes one "tick". Our hearts are notoriously sinful. Scripture clearly indicates that this sinful nature is present within us before we are even born! (Psalm 51:5) Since we are sinful from birth there is only one solution; a new birth is required! Jesus says "Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again." (John 3:6-7) Without Jesus our hearts are not just sinfully diseased, they are not even beating -- they are spiritually dead. However this verse also applies after we have received Christ. You see our hearts continue to be plagued by the sinful nature that we were born with, to not be mindful and careful of this can lead to great pitfalls of deceit from our hearts. The simple fact that we still reside in these corrupt fleshly vessels is reason enough to know that we have to guard ourselves against the workings of a deceitful heart. Praise be to God that through Jesus Christ we have been blessed with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, oh blessed Holy Spirit!! who is with us and in us to do exactly what is impossible for us according to this verse to "know our hearts", only He can reveal the innermost workings of our hearts and expose them to the marvelous cleansing light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Praise Jesus!!
