Do It With Your Heart

Leave a comment

Hearts get torn, and hearts get broken. Hearts endure trauma, but they also experience the great joys of life. Our hearts are at the very core of who we are. And it’s in our hearts where we stir up what we believe and what we are passionate about. It’s where the zeal of our purpose and calling is birthed, resides, and comes alive.

If you are going to do anything, do it with your heart. If you are going to be anything, be it with a heart guided by what is right, propelling you forward.

The fullness of the heart involved in our endeavors will change something from wishy-washy to successful. But, opposite that, a half-hearted approach shows a lack of complete dedication; therefore, it will most likely not come to fruition.

Our desire in life should be to make the good stuff grow. We want good intentions to grow into good actions. We want love sprouting and flourishing in abundance. We want all the precious fruit of His Spirit that is at work in our lives to manifest outwardly what He is doing inwardly.

Put your heart into it. Let His passion on the inside of you drive you forward. “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13). And in everything you do for Him, He wants you to do it with your heart.

Involve the heart in the work today and watch it grow abundantly!

Jesus is Greater!

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things . . .” Hebrews 1:1-2

The writer of Hebrews opens his book with the exaltation of Christ over all and declares that God “hath in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things,” (Hebrews 1:2). As the rightful heir, His supremacy is beautifully noted.

“Therefore,” Hebrews 2:1 tells us, “we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.”

Many believe the recipients of this letter are early Jewish Christians whose faith has come under attack, and they needed encouragement to hold on to the words of Christ, to hold onto the gospel message they received lest they “let them slip.”

When one “slips,” it is usually a backward path into old ways, and this is what was threatening their current faith.  The old ways, that were attached to the older religious system, that came before the securing and atoning death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, were trying to prevail and draw people backward.  In his writings, the author of Hebrews continues to teach and explain that Christ is greater than those old ways.  He is greater than Moses, greater than the old religious system and priesthood, greater the angels (read Hebrews 2-3 for more), and all that came before Him (although technically, Christ was before all of them – see John 1:1-5; 8:58).  He is simply greater in every way.

Is there something plaguing your current faith today? Has something infiltrated your dedication to the Lord and is seeking to pull you into a slipping mode?

Friend, whatever it is, Jesus is greater than that too. He understands the frailty of humanity. He understands the emotions you battle with and the questions you long to ask. Lay it all at His feet today. Take everything to the Lord in prayer. Ask Him, with all sincerity, for help with this and all other things you may be confronted with.

The old may be comfortable, but faith in Christ, the heir of all, is the greater choice.

Therefore, our rest and peace are now forever found in the promises fulfilled in Jesus Christ (Hebrews 3:18-4:3; 2 Corinthians 1:20), because He is greater.
