I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. Ezekiel 36:26
Having two boys has made me inadvertently expect our oldest son to be more mature than he can actually be at his age. It's really not fair, considering he's fourteen years old and almost halfway through the 8th grade. I also have this tendency to want to be in control and it's often a power struggle in our household. That said, I truly enjoy conversations with him and he's a growing into a fine young man.
When we give God control of our lives, he gives us a new heart, nature, and desire to please him. God renews our hearts when we come to him with some humility and we turn away from our old sinful habits. As we do these things, our love for him will grow.
God has the power to change the coldest and hardest of hearts into loving ones. Are you willing to let go and let God change you?
