IMO, this isn’t so much about what we “do” as it about the heart with which we do it. You can do a lot of good things, but do it for the acclaim or recognition. Align your heart with God’s and feel the peace and joy that only He can give. #god #devotionalreading #verseoftheday #itsaheartissue

Dwelling in the house of the Lord doesn't mean you set up camp in your local church. This speaks to an aligning of your heart with all things eternal, and Godly. It means you begin to live a life with purpose, filled with love for others. Are you aligned with God? Is your heart filled with the love of your Father? #godsplan #godslove #homewithgod #itsaheartissue #alignedwithgod #god #bible #devotionalreading

If your heart is in alignment with God, and you're giving of your time, money, and energy, your Heavenly Father promises blessings upon blessings. The difficult part for Christians is that they give out of compulsion, and not the heart. They give their time, money, or energy, but the heart is focused on what they might receive, and not on the glory of God. If you don't have two pennies to run together, give of your time and energy. Let your heart lead you to opportunities in serving the Kingdom. If you have money, give from the heart, not because you feel like you have to. #itsaheartissue #givefreely #serveothers #begenerous #godslove #blessings #god #bible #devotional

None of us are perfect. Some of us are quick to point out the sin of others, while neglecting the sin in our own lives. At times, i'm guilty of this. I believe that God looks at our hearts, and looks for the love we pour into others. Regardless of our sin, we can still love others, without casting judgement. #lovelikejesus #nojudgement #itsaheartissue #bible #god #devotional

Many might think #backsliding is all about the actions of a person, but it truly starts in the heart. So when ungodly #thoughts or #desires rest in our hearts and minds, we can't just think we're okay as long as we don't act on them. We must go to God to attack that thing, and rely on Him for the #pure, #clean #heart and #renewed mind that He provides. Cause we can only do a spiritual #moonwalk for so long, before our feet eventually start to follow. #itsaheartissue #Jesus #Christ #Christians #Christianity #advancethekingdom #advancetheking

At its core, sin is a heart problem. I've struggled, at times, and in those moments I know that my heart was in a dark place. I've made my share of mistakes, and I've tried to acknowledge them, and seek forgiveness. In recent years, I've worked to seek Him more, and to keep my heart focused on His glory, and His grace. With our hearts, we must believe in the inherent greatness of God, and the saving grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ. With our tongues, we must speak of these truths, and love others with the fullness that God offers us. #godslove #believeinhim #trustinhisgreatness #followchrist #blessed #itsaheartissue
