Therefore, change your heart and stop being stubborn. The Lord your God will change your heart and the hearts of all your descendants so that you will love him with all your heart and soul and so you may live.
–Deuteronomy 10:16; 30:6 (NLT)
CHANGE YOUR HEART
A poem and essay by ILMA
Seek the Lord only and turn to him for everything
He listens to your prayers and can grant you anything
Therefore, change your heart and stop being stubborn
It makes your life difficult and you end up in the wrong.
The Lord your God is the only one who can change your heart
He never wants you to go astray and be apart
When you decide to follow him, your descendants will live
They will learn to love God with all their hearts and souls and be firm.
Is your heart longing for God or for the things of this world? Are you in love with the Lord that you can’t stop thinking about him or wanting to spend time with him? Do you keep your hearts pure for him and avoid corruption from this world we live in?
The bible tells us to stop being stubborn and change our hearts. God will change our hearts so that we can prioritize him and love him with all our hearts and souls and be given life.
PRAYER
Lord, keep my heart pure.
REFLECTION
Why is it important to constantly obey and seek God?
