(Heart 2 Heart) - Free Indeed - Abundant Living After Abuse

Today, my post is a heart 2 heart post. The matters of the heart can be quite tricky as I have mentioned in my previous posts. For example, today I woke up with a heavy burden in my heart. There is so much civil unrest throughout the world the Bible states “And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 26:4 External and internal peace seems to elude us day by day. Trials and tribulations seem to pile on and remedies to alleviate stressors that cause the heart to stir seems to be ever be so distant from our reach. So, I must remind myself to not be troubled. 

What are we to do in times like these? My answer is draw near to the Holy Spirit who has been appointed by Christ to be our Comforter. This is amazing! The comforter’s one of many roles is to be our Comforter along with leading us into a desire to build a relationship with our Creator. These two roles are quite significant in that our faith is built on these two spiritual cores. The first is to comfort us during our trial and within our trials it is when we seek our Creator the most. 

Faith is needed in times like these where the world seems to be going against its Creator. How we to face what are lies ahead if we do not have a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit or with Christ. You cannot a relationship without the two for the natural man because of sin would not seek Christ, the Bible states “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” Romans 8:7 

This means that without the leading of the Holy Spirit we would never come to Christ on our own account. So, it is safe to say that the Holy Spirit prepares our heart to get closer to Christ. Our hearts become softened regardless of what we have gone through in the past or what we are going through today. We were born into a sinful planet and we will not be exempt from trials and tribulations, but the great news is that our hearts have a Comforter who is wooing us to get close to Him so that we can get close to Christ and live free in him and him alone. 

Are you willing and ready for a changed life and have a heart 2 heart with Christ today? Invite the Holy Spirit into your life and see what amazing things he will do to your heart.
