It’s days like this that we set aside time to look within, to reflect on what you are doing well and what needs to change.

• Maybe you have noticed you are a little more agitated and short with your family.
• Maybe you are more fussy than optimistic.
• Maybe you are feeling drained and just want to challenge people with your words because you can.

When we come to the realization that our hearts may be inclined towards negativity or weakness, why do we keep trying to do life by ourselves.

This is a reminder of the transformative work that can be done through Jesus Christ if we let Him. It takes courage to confront our shortcomings and acknowledge the areas where we need growth and renewal. But when we have the courage to be real and raw with ourselves, then that’s the first step towards healing and restoration.

Scripture reminds us in Ezekiel 36:26, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”

This promise signifies the profound change that is possible when we surrender our hearts to God and invite His grace to work within us.

But here’s the thing– You have to want to surrender. You have to want God’s grace. You have to want God to work within you.

The K.I.S.S. ~ What is in your heart!

In times of struggle and moments of weakness, it is vital to lean on God’s promises and draw strength from His Word.

Romans 12:2 encourages us, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

“In the journey of faith, our hearts may falter, but in Christ, we find the strength to rise again, renewed and restored.” ~ Kristianne Wargo

This journey is not one of perfection but of perseverance, trusting that God’s work within us is continuous and life-transforming.

What is in your heart?

Do you need to call on God to change the things that come out of your mouth? If you do believe that you are stuck in a place of disbelief and wondering what God can do, don’t hesitate to ask Him. Ask. Seek. And knock.

7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” ~ Matthew 7:7

God does care about your vocabulary. God does care about your perspective. God does care about your heart. But do you?

Do you really want to make the shift and change what is not working?

Only you know the real truth.

May you take comfort in the fact that your weaknesses are opportunities for God’s strength to shine through.

Embrace the journey of growth and restoration, knowing that your heart, when surrendered to God, can bear fruits of love, and grace– transformation beyond measure.

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
