Recently we heard of some things that can destroy a heart for God. Here are some ways we can develope a heart for God:
1. Be humble in spite of success: Humility is recognizing God's grace and mercy in our successes, not our own achievements. It has been said that prosperity is the greatest test of our character.
2. Be mindful of the Shepherd: An antidote to selfishness is the exaltation of God. Reflecting on Him and how we can serve Him.
3. Be available in service: This is an antidote to slothfulness - being busy and mindful of ways to serve others. This opens the heart to allow the flow of God's love from our heart into the lives of others. His Living Water flows in and out of us and we are a channel of blessing and service.
4. Be repentant of sins: All have sinned...but God's forgiveness turns our life around and makes us usable.
5. Be trusting in the Savior: This is the remedy for stress. The battles of life will rage, but the strength of God is limitless. God is our fortress and strength. As we face the pressures of life, may they draw us toward the Savior rather than away from Him.
