A heart change has been the topic of conversation among a group of friends of mine and I don’t think it will ever get old. Life is change. And a change of habits will still lead to death while a change in your heart will produce fruitful life. I was reading today in Colossians and Paul said at the end of chapter 2 that “Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.” He was talking before about how there is freedom from earthly rules and regulations when you are alive in Christ. When Christ lives in you there is no room for fake. The heart is changed and his strength motivates you to pursue him more. He shows us his love and we then love him, more and more, and allow him to mold us into what he wants us to be.

I pray that I continually am changing. I never want to go back being the one that dresses up to be a Christian everyday when reality there is only false humility, heartless worship, and sensual indulgence as soon as the door closes. God is not pleased with that and there is no life in that. I am thankful that the sins I struggle with are a big deal to God and that he can and will allow me to conquer over evil.

“You have come to save,
you have come to change
the world through us.
But change us first”
