heart responsibility

i am always thankful to God when He speaks to me through the Bible or the Holy Spirit.

recently, He informed me that i was taking responsibility for other people's heart conditions. a responsibility that He never asked me to take, nor one that i am good at managing.


the Bible is clear that what is in a person's heart determines what s/he says. i am not responsible for what is in another person heart. i am responsible for what is in my heart. nor do i have the power to change another person's heart condition. yet, God is responsible and has the power to change people's heart conditions. that is one of the benefits of the new covenant that God has made with those who follow Jesus.


the Bible and the Holy Spirit so masterfully confronted me and then set me free from this wrong doing (called sin in the Bible). as i confessed (agreed with God) the sin of taking responsibility for others heart conditions, He forgave me and set me free from this burden. His peace came upon me.

i thank you Lord for your continual transformation in my life.
