June 22–Heart for the Lord–Day 22–SPIRITUAL HEART
\n“Clearly, you are a letter from Christ showing the result of our ministry among you. This “letter” is written not with pen and ink, but with the Spirit of the living God.
\nIt is carved not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts.” 2 Corinthians 3:3 NLT<\/p>\n
Today’s Thought:
\n<\/u>A Spiritual Heart is actually a letter of recommendation of the Christian life. It is God’s love showing forth that others can see and read.<\/p>\n
When non-believers see a Spiritual Heart, they will see a living testimony of what a true believer’s life is like.<\/p>\n
Prayer of the Heart to the Lord:
\n<\/u>Dear Lord,
\ntoday I ask that You create in me a Spiritual Heart so I can be Your letter known and read by all.<\/p>\n
I want to have a Spiritual Heart that recommends You and reflects Your word in action to everyone I meet.<\/p>\n
I want Your Spirit to write on my heart a living testimony that the world will read and remember.<\/p>\n
In Jesus name I pray. Amen.<\/p>\n
