Shift Part 1: Shifting Our Hearts

Posted byniacarawPosted inPower PostsTags:, , , , ,

All true transformation begins in the heart. The Bible teaches, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it” (Proverbs 4:23). Our heart is the seat of our emotions, desires, and affections. If our hearts are not right with God, then the rest of our lives fall out of balance.

Moving our hearts is giving the secret places we’ve kept guarded. It’s letting God soften the hard places and heal the broken ones. Sometimes, life’s disappointments, betrayals, or delays can exhaust our hearts. But God is asking us to let Him take the stony places and make them flesh again (Ezekiel 36:26).

When we move our hearts towards God:

We begin loving differently.

We give grace more freely.

We align our desires with His, rather than our own.

This change of heart does not take place overnight but is a daily decision to lean toward God’s presence and allow Him to purify us.

Prayer:
Lord, tune my heart so that it beats in rhythm with Yours. Heal what is broken, soften what is hard, and teach me to love like You love. May the overflow of my heart bear fruit that honors You. Amen.

I am a former educator, entrepreneur, wife, and mother of three beautiful children. I have taught the word of God to all ages and love to share it in creative ways. I've always had a passion for written expression. Over the years, I have documented my personal thoughts and prayers. Poems, devotionals, worship songs, and more have come from my life experiences. Now, I am ready to share them with the hope that lives and hearts will be changed as well as greatly blessed. I am flawed but striving for perfection in Christ. Although I have fallen short of the glory of God, I am forgiven. I am loved with an everlasting love. I am FREE!
