Hardheartedness doesn’t rock! A proud and hard heart makes Jesus both mad and sad. (Mark 3:5) How does your heart make Jesus feel? (Proverbs 16:5)

There is hardness in your heart when you are:

• Proud,
• Bitter,
• Selfish,
• Envious,
• Boastful,
• Dishonest,
• Unkind,
• Self-righteous,
• Cynical,
• Ungrateful,
• Focused on self-protection,
• Name calling,
• Blaming others,
• Condemning people,
• Unwilling to say, “I’m sorry.”
• Unforgiving,
• Vengeful,
• Uncaring
• Insensitive,
• Stone-faced,
• Feeling like you’re a robot,
• Unloving,
• Refusing to cry,
• Seldom smiling,
• Unrepentant.

People look at your outward appearance, but God looks at your heart. (1 Samuel 16:7) He wants to heal the hardness in your broken malfunctioning heart. (Psalm 147:3) Let Him remove any stoniness from your heart and make you compassionate and tenderhearted. (Ezekiel 36:26) Sincerely and fully open your heart to God and allow Him to purify you from within (Hebrews 10:22) and to fill you with His Joy. (John 15:11) A joyful heart is good medicine. (Proverbs 17:22) Throughout each day let Jesus train and empower you to be humble and joyful in heart. (Matthew 11:29)

If churches would train people to daily:

• Love Jesus,
• Love like Jesus,
• Listen to Jesus, and
• Obey Jesus,

This world would be a better place!
