The Surprising Truth About Your Heart
Have you ever felt like your heart is a world away from Jesus’? You’re not alone. His heart is pure, peaceful, and purposeful, while ours can be greedy, hassled, and distracted. It’s easy to wonder how we can ever hope to have a heart like His.
A Life-Changing Promise
But here’s the surprising truth: if you’ve given your life to Jesus, you already have the heart of Christ. This promise is rooted in Scripture, as the Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 2:16, “We Christians actually do have within us a portion of the very thoughts and mind of Christ.” This is not just a theological concept; it’s a life-changing reality.
A Total Transformation
The same Jesus who saved your soul longs to remake your heart. His plan is nothing short of a total transformation. He wants to take your heart, with all its flaws and imperfections, and make it more like His own. This is not a gradual process, but a radical makeover.
Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus
So, how do we tap into this promise? By fixing our eyes on Jesus. As we gaze upon Him, we’ll begin to see what we can become. We’ll catch glimpses of His purity, peace, and purpose, and our hearts will begin to beat in rhythm with His.
Becoming Like Jesus
What do you want Jesus to say when you meet Him face to face? Perhaps it’s “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Or maybe it’s “You are my beloved child.” Whatever it is, it starts with knowing Jesus and allowing Him to transform your heart. As you do, you’ll discover that having the heart of Jesus is not just a distant dream, but a present reality.
