“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold”-Matthew 24:12
Ever get super busy, just doing “stuff”. Perhaps it goes something like this, you run to work, then you run to the grocery store, than you run home to fix dinner, you race to finish dinner and then race to do the laundry…And you just keep running. I am sure guys have a list too :).
There’s not much time for “feeling” in there….
Or perhaps you turn on the news only to find there are so many dreadful things happening in our country, indeed in our world, that it leaves us numb. From a global tax to the cancellation of Dr. Seuss, there is not much good news out there. Perhaps worrying about Covid 19 for so long, has turned us numb. Perhaps the recent election did.
It’s easy to see how it happens.
But keeping our hearts “warm and compassionate” is really important! Especially these days… Love, compassion, kindness-they all come from our hearts. Which is why we can never let them grow cold or hard!
“Harden not your hearts”-Hebrews 3:8
But do not worry, for we are indeed Blessed. Because any time we are concerned that our heart may be growing colder, more calloused, all we need to do is ask God to soften our hearts. And He will 🙂
