I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”

‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭36:26‬ ‭NIV‬‬

A new heart and spirit are given by God alone through regeneration and the new birth. This is a miracle of grace. A “heart of flesh” means a new ability to see and understand truth, a new delight in God and desire for Him, and a new spirit that loves Him. The gospel offers hope for the hardest of hearts

God takes our slate and erases all the evil and sin, leaving only the good. He takes our hearts, hardened by the hurt and sin and evil in the world, and gives us hearts of flesh, able to accept His love and share it. He gives us the Holy Spirit, clothes us in His righteousness and teaches us through His Word.

There are common characteristics among those who have hearts of stone. They are incapable of receiving, and giving, love. They walled off their hearts early in life to self-protect. In so doing, they saved themselves from feeling the pain of other’s neglect and abuse.

Place your heart in God’s hands. Allow Him to reconstruct the brokenness and infuse joy into those damaged situations. God seeks to repair the injuries and fully restore function in every area of your life. Heavenly Father, I surrender into Your hands all that is hurting in my life.

Enough said.
