A SENSITIVE HEART

“Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”

Ephesians 4:31,32 KJV

Do we have a sensitive heart or have we allowed anger, jealousy, hatred, bitterness and sarcasm to remain in our heart?  If we have allowed those things to remain in our heart, we do not have a sensitive heart and we are hurting God and breaking His heart.  May God help us to have a sensitive heart.

When we are saved, Jesus gives us a new heart, a heart that is filled with compassion for others.  We must not allow satan to put things in our heart that hurt God.  Jesus freed us from the bondage of satan when He died on the cross for our sins.  We should listen to Jesus and not to satan because satan is a liar.

It is so true that we get back what we give out.  If we want people to love us and treat us with respect and be kind to us, we must first love them, treat them with respect and be kind to them.  Do we love others as Jesus has commanded us to love them?  Let’s love one another and be an encourager to one another.

How about your heart?  When God looks in your heart, does He see things that make Him happy or does He see things that hurt Him and make Him sad?  I want to always make God and Jesus happy but I’m human and sometimes I fail Them.  May God have mercy on us and forgive us when we hurt Him.

What about our family?  Do we have a sensitive heart toward our family and our loved ones?  I want others to see Jesus in my smiles and hear His unconditional love for them in what I say.
