A New Heart-Ezekial 36:26

"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh."

A beating heart is a sign of life. Physically, your heart beats regularly. But spiritually, until you get to know God firsthand, your heart is flat-lining. In Ezekiel 36:26 Good promises the ULTIMATE heart transplant. It is the promise of being fully alive - physically, emotionally, and spiritually - both in this life on earth and in the next.

This year comes to an end tonight and we begin 2012. We aren't promised even our next breath, some will NEVER see 2012 come to be. Jesus says, "I stand at the door and knock..." He wants a personal relationship with you...all you need to do is ask and He will give you a heart transplant. This heart transplant is only possible through the power of God's Spirit. Trying to become more loving, generous, and kind though self-effort can never bring a heart of stone to live. Only God's gift of his presence can jump-start a heart into a permanent change.

HE is the only one who will never leave you nor forsake you. He loves you NO MATTER WHAT! Turn your life over to Him and trust in Him to change your heart of stone for a heart after His.

Wishing you all a safe blessed New Year!
