Heart Change

I used to read areas of the Bible and so desired my life and who I was, to be that way…
I wanted to be that submissive wife but as soon as I heard something I didn’t want to hear, I would grunt and groan about it underneath my breath…
I wanted to love those unlovable people in my life, and I even worked myself out a plan on how I was going to do it, but when that time came, I again failed myself and those I loved…
I wanted to be all that God wanted me to be and accepted, so in the flesh I worked at it, only to come to truths that “works” don’t please God, and instead I became religious and exhausted…

My striving to be what i so desired to be was not working. I needed a heart change….

I started a new season by bringing each circumstance to God and praying them thru indivually.
Inviting God to be intimate with EVERY detail of my life. I would take one section of Scripture (relating) and study it with the Holy Spirit. I asked him to teach me how to hear his voice and I listened. Thru listening to what he had to say about every matter, thru the day, as I would come up against it. My heart (and life) began to change and I started seeing things differently.

Heart and perspective change, brings attitude change. Which is an inside thing that only God can touch. We can desire to change so badly but until the heart changes, we are only striving (in the flesh).

I used to believe that it was selfish to go to God about me and my issues, so in my time with him I struggled, not knowing what to do. I felt that in my time with him I was only supposed to be telling him how wonderful he was and not so much of what a mess I was. I didn’t truly understand that in relationship it works both ways.

PRAISE is the first thing that started changing my heart and my time with God. I would just sit down (stop working/striving) and began thanking God in detail for who he was TO ME. I would just sit and ponder Him. Adoration. Thankfulness.
THIS IS WHEN HE SHOWS UP

I went from what felt like self-help, to Him leading…. Him opening my eyes, revelation and changing my heart.

If you are not OK with what is on the INSIDE of you then you will not like the outside either, and neither will anyone else.

God cares so much about you (inside) and how you treat other people (which is a result from the inside). The Word says that he will take your heart of stone and soften it… you just have to want it bad enough. I was tired of going to bed feeling guilty for how I had responded to individuals and circumstances.

For anyone who would like ‘more in depth’ on how or where to start, please message me and I would love to get into greater detail with you.
Have an awesome day 🙂
