Having a Heart in a Sometimes Heartless World
Day 210 – Week 30 at a glance
Scripture focus: Lead with your ears, follow up with your tongue, and let anger straggle along in the rear. God’s righteousness doesn’t grow from human anger. So throw all spoiled virtue and cancerous evil in the garbage. In simple humility, let our gardener, God, landscape you with the Word, making a salvation-garden of your life. James 1:19-21 The Message
This week we talked about all sorts of ways to improve our ability to step as God speaks. Proper nutrition, adequate play time, taking thoughts captive, and commitment to feeling the full range of emotions skimmed the surface of a call to become our true, God-created identity.
We also discussed the need for feeling our feelings without bullying others with them. We talked about how to express ourselves without violating God’s principles of love. We considered what it means to receive a “fit reply” and we were given some tips to improve both our share and our listen.
But lest we forget, we’re not running this race to become consummate communicators – we’re simply allowing God, our gardener, to landscape us with his word. If the Lord isn’t in the midst of this process, it won’t much matter how well we eat, adequately we play, sharply we think, or big we feel.
This completes the two hundred tenth day of our three hundred sixty five day journey. May your journey draw you nearer to God and closer to your true God-created identity.
Recommended reading: 2 Chronicles 19 and 20 in the morning; Romans 10 and Psalm 21 in the evening
