Attitude of the Heart

Yesterday, God showed me an area of sin that I needed to repent.  I wasn't loving a person very well.  I was spending time with the person but getting annoyed more and more.  I was wanting my way, and my ability to do what I wanted, not what the other person wanted.  I took a break away to examine my frustrations.  God lovingly reminded me of the words to a song we sang in church and did some heart surgery.  

“Heal my heart and make it clean


Open up my eyes to the things unseen


Show me how to love like

You have loved me


Break my heart for what breaks Yours


Everything I am for Your kingdom's cause


As I walk from earth into eternity”

- Hosanna by Hillsong United

I repented of my selfishness and asked God to help me love like He has loved me.  I returned and was able to enjoy and love the person better. Not that I did it perfectly but I was more at rest in my soul.  

It really is all about the attitude of our hearts.  Hoping to be loving well as I say good bye to those who are dear to me.
