God wants your heart
I would like to share a short devotional thought as we walk
through the 10th day of our fast.
Most, if not all of us, would say “our heart belongs to God.” However, as we enter this 10th day,
I encourage you to take time to examine the true state of your heart. Sometimes, we can mistakenly believe God has
our total affection when, in reality, our affections may be split among many
things that occupy the intimate spaces of our heart. In Joel 2:12, the prophet admonishes Judah to
“…rend their hearts, and not their garments.”
This nation had spent their time in a posture of affection towards God
(outwardly), but over time their hearts had begun to drift towards other gods
and other objects of affection.
I encourage you to fall in love with Him again if your heart
has begun to drift. Focus on directing
all your affection towards Him. This
means, your greatest desire is to connect with Him intimately, despite the
state of your life at any given moment.
Blessings to you!
Bishop James R. Izzard, Jr.
