What Dwells In Your Heart? 

Colossians 3:16-17“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”

If you live life focused on just yourself, your heart I daresay is not with the Lord. If you make decisions without care of others, their feelings, or even their well being, I would say you are missing out on love and your sin is making you believe you are on high above God. We are called to live in love and if we become selfish we don’t love others, you love yourself.

Are you allowing Jesus to shine through you? Do you feel bad when you hurt someone? Thankfully there is hope for our lies and there is a time for change and the time is now. In the season of the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, we can be like the Grinch and Ebenezer Scrooge or we can allow our hearts to grow three sizes today.

I have heard often I’ve hurt to many people for God to save me. I’ve done so much wrong for God to love me. The excuses are far and wide, and yet none of them are true. There is always a path to redemption if someone is willing to give up their once selfish ways. Allow Jesus to enter your heart and the love will spread from the source through your soul and out into other parts of your life. Ephesians 3:17“that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,” 

I’ve seen a lot of selfish in my day, and I’ve been hurt by a lot of it in the process. Someone asked me recently how I managed to deal with loosing my ex wife, and the answer was simple, time, prayer, love, and respect. Nothing is too big for God and nothing is too much for God. This is the season of joy and good will towards Men/Women. Are we truly willing to live our lives in hate, or even fear? We need to let go of the dark seed that dwells within us, and face the light of truth. Jesus Christ is the only light we’ll ever need, and the only hope we’ll ever have to have.

There’s never a time that’s too late to turn to Christ and let go of the darkness within.
