The heart, mind challenge
November 30, 2021
Why do we do what we do? Why does that other person behave like that? Words, actions, life is messy. Consider that we have two control centers: our minds and our hearts. We can learn rules, and laws, and expectations. We can follow those like robots, or to fit in. Jewish leaders did so in Jesus’ day.
Jesus came to impact a different control center: our heart. And He gives us, at our invitation, a tender, compassionate heart like His. How much He has forgiven us! Grace and mercy received.
So we pass it on to others. We live with humility. In fact, our new heart transforms our mind. Romans 12: 2. We discern God’s will which is all good. Perfect? No. Patient, tender and forgiving? We can be.
