Get ready to start a journey…a journey through the pages of the Bible and the pages of your life.
These two qualities are the essence of a person who follows hard after Jesus. “Bind them around your neck” to guide your actions. “Write them on the tablet of your heart” to guide your inner person. Love and faithfulness must saturate our thoughts, desires, and actions.
When bad things assault us, they shout large questions to our hearts. Questions that begin with “Why,” How” and “Who.” And frequently our heart is at a loss for words.
Telling the truth comes from the heart through the lips of a person who desires to honor God. Truth-telling is something we can show and tell our children every day. Remind your kids that God loves honesty—it’s like a kiss on the lips.
Proverbs 16:9 – The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
A willing heart to give what we have is all Jesus wants and all he needs. He will take what you have and turn it into what he needs…with leftovers.
