Keys to Please II

God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God. Matt.5:8

Guard your heart because your life flows from your heart. What you do shows the state of your heart. I am sure you hear this often, people being corrected perhaps for the way they dress and they immediately say ‘God sees my heart’. God is saying you need to get that heart right because your life flows from your heart. Your heart explains why you ask God for what you ask for.

                               The heart explains why you really brought that need to God in prayer. This may seem simple but it will change your life – check your heart. When the pressure of life comes, because it will come, you must guard your heart with all that you have. If you succeeded in guarding your heart, the springs of life will yet flow again. However, if your heart gets corrupt in the process [defiled or hardened], then God has a problem with that. The reason why a number of us are where we are today, devoid of progress, is because of our hearts. Some people have such an unforgiving heart. You have chosen not to forgive the man that you can see but you are asking God for forgiveness. God wants you to forgive and not payback evil for evil. Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. God does not want us to rejoice when He is dealing with our enemies or those that are against us. Forgiveness must be total, even between men, because if you rejoice at their suffering, God will stop their suffering. He will start to bless them before your eyes. Be gracious, this is what God wants. Are you in agreement with God, can you say that in your life you are in agreement with God and walking with God and pleasing him.

Prayer: Lord, please teach me complete forgiveness. I choose to agree with You and please You all my days in Jesus Name.
