Mark 12:30 And you
shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and
with all your mind and with all your strength.
Proverbs 23:26 Give
me your heart, my son, And let your eyes delight in my ways.
Proverbs 4:4 Then
he taught me, and he said to me, "Take hold of my words with all your
heart; keep my commands, and you will live.
Psalm 119:24 Your
statutes are my delight; they are my counselors.
Proverb 3:5 Trust
in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.
God gives us more by going deeper than we ask. He wants
not only your whole heart—He wants your heart whole. Why? Hurt people hurt
people. Think about it. Why do you fly off the handle? Why do you avoid
conflict? Why do you seek to please everyone? Might your tendencies have
something to do with an unhealed hurt in your heart? God wants to help you for
your sake.
Your family history has some sad chapters. But your history
doesn’t have to be your future. The generational garbage can stop here and
now. You don’t have to give your kids what your ancestors gave you. Talk
to God about the scandals and scoundrels. Invite Him to relive the
betrayal with you. The process may take a long time. It may take a
lifetime. Difficult for certain. But let God do His work!
