I’ve
given you a new heart and spirit; taking away your old hard heart, I’ve put in
you a heart that loves. And, My Spirit that I put in you will lead you and
teach you My ways, and you will live in My reality to be My people. And – I
will be your God. (Ezekiel 36:26-28)
What is truly at the center of your life? A
person? A goal? An organization? A Position? An image you maintain? God does
not compromise. God will not share you. God will not allow you to exclude Him
from any moment of your day. Without a firm focus on Jesus, you will pursue –
worship – something else. Those other things you pursue, no matter what you
choose, you will need more and more of that thing. The only God that can be
enough is the Lord, Jesus Christ.
This passage explains the wholesale change
that comes by the Power of Christ in you. When you are changed by God, there is
a new you; a new reality. The new you is led and taught; mentored and grown by
God’s Holy Spirit, who has taken up residence within you. Your capacity (heart)
has been enlarged. You can love Jesus as He intended. You have the heart to
love others, and unite them in Christ as the Spirit works in and through your
life.
Recognize who you are. Take the role you
have been given seriously. Act with purpose, and from your new heart, in all
you do.
