What Condition is Your Heart in.

I have been learning about the conditions of our hearts, and how much it matters in our daily lives. The way we live is reflected from the inner most parts of our hearts, and I want to inspire you all to heal the parts of your heart that need to be.
What's in us, comes out of us. The quicker we can detect a bad heart condition, the better we are. The longer that we leave a bad heart condition unattended, the deeper the problem will get, and the harder it is to heal.

Matthew 5:8

The tests that God gives us in life is very important. He doesn't test us to play games with us to see what we can take, or to see what's in us ( because he already knows everything). The truth is, God TESTS us because he wants US to see what's inside us. sometimes we are surprised what's in there. We may think, " wow, I can't believe I did that, or said that." He wants to show us these things because he wants us to face them, and deal with them. That is how we grow. The truth makes us free! If we are able to look at our problems within us, and let God deal with it properly, we will be taken to a new level, and grow into an even better person.

If we know how to keep our heart in the right condition, we can be at absolute peace inside and out. Even in all the the turmoil and hurt in the world, if we have a right heart to deal with it, we can be happy through it all.

1 Peter 3:3


I think we should spend time checking our heart, over checking how we look in the mirror. If we spent at least equal time on our inward beauty, the world would be a better place. It doesn't matter what you are wearing to God, its how you are dressed on the inside. and I really think we should pay more attention to our inner life, with our thoughts and attitudes.
When I talk about our heart, I am talking about our emotions, our thoughts, our spirit. Our heart is the innermost deepest part of our life. and it matters. not our looks.
How we treat people, and how we make our self beautiful on the inside, is what makes us really beautiful in life. i think this is an every day thing that we need to work on.

I also think we need to learn how to guard our hearts. We don't know on any given day whats going to happen to us. we don't know when someone could hurt us, betray us, make us feel angry, or sad. We have to constantly work with God, to guard our heart, and how we are going to react to situations, that come our way.

Now lets look at Motives. 1 corinthans 3:13-15

We need to look at the motives at why we do things.
some people spend their whole life doing good works and things just to look good and impress other people. When you do good works, don't do them to be well thought of by other people. If we are honest with ourselves, which can be very hard to do, its easy to face truth about someone else, and its sometimes not so easy to see truth about ourselves, but if we can do that, we can be taken to a whole knew level. and yes, we all do usually want to impress people. Freedom is when we no longer need to do things to impress people. Start living your life by what God would think of you, not what others do. Do good for others because its in your heart to do good. Be generous, because you want give. Don't do good, because an audience is watching you, and you want them to see you do good. God Will see you.

Take time for yourself, and look over all the things you do, and why you are doing them. it may surprise you.

So what condition is your heart in? everyday we grow, and we learn new things about ourselves. Learn to recognize the negatives in your heart, and how to change them, and kick them out! Be gentle, and humble, and generous, and loving.

I myself am working through this everyday, and I hope you all will come with me on this journey to tenderize and soften our hearts.

love, smiles, and beautiful hearts!

Leah!
