It’s All About the Heart, Matthew 12:34

Matthew 12:34

… For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.

“Where are those thoughts and words coming from? I never in my life would have thought you could’ve said such things”.

We need to search our innermost heart. We need to experience what we really feel and understand. It’s very easy to cover up hurts and dashed expectations with a thin veneer of Christian slogans and catchphrases.

We can play the Christian game but not really deal with the real issues of our life.

Then one day when we least expect it, our true feelings come out boiling up from below. Words that we tried never to say, things we thought we would never reveal come out

Life has been hard on us; we have been hurt, abused, and abandoned. We want to forget and never go back to that time again.

Yet, there it is, it just came out.

God calls all of us to healing, to renewal, and to cleansing. Take time to go back. Examine your heart, examine your motives. Allow the loving touch of God to mend your broken heart. God loves you and wants to fill your heart with his love. He wants you to get rid of that “stuff” that is keeping you from being alive and well in Him.

Take some time to examine your life. Take a walk, get away and look closely at where you are and where you have been.
Is your past affecting your present?
Is your past holding you back or holding you down?
Pray for a release from the bad stuff in your past.
Ask for a renewal of God’s spirit in your life.
Bad stuff has happened to you. Don’t let the past overshadow the future. God wants only good for you stand on that promise.

Making This December 26 Better Than Last Year's - Today Can Be Different
The more we draw near to and worship Him, the more we’ll become aware of how much He loves us and has intervened in our circumstances. The more we become aware of all He has done for us – and in us – the more we’ll experience healing from our pain and anger. Eventually, we’ll experience a joy we haven’t known for a long time.

What the Angels Said — Carol McLeod Ministries
Angels are an intrinsic and dynamic part of the Christmas story. Christmas simply would not have occurred without these God-sent messengers from heaven. We don’t know if the angels were clothed in flowing, white robes, if they had a halo that sparkled, or even if they flew with wings into the Christ

The Mall or the Manger?
Much has changed since the God of the universe decorated the night sky with the star of Bethlehem and directed the choir of angels in a chorus announcing the birth of Our Savior, Jesus Christ. But the commercialism doesn’t have to rule in our hearts and homes. This year let’s focus on the Christ Child and remember the true meaning of the holiday season. As we turn our eyes to the Babe in the manger, we will not view Christmas as a dreaded obligation or a major retail event. It will be a time of joyous celebration, honoring the One Who came to give us eternal life and worshipping our Heavenly Father.
