God’s Earthly Heart

Good Morning!

 We are God’s earthly heartbeats. His hands, His voice, His compassion made visible. As followers of Christ, we are called to love the loveless, encourage the hopeless, and inspire the doubtful. Yet many of us have spiritually flat‑lined. Our hearts beat, but not for God or for His people. If the Lord performed open‑heart surgery today, what would He find? A heart overflowing with grace—or one hardened by selfishness, fear, and indifference?

 

Scripture warns that in the last days, love will grow cold (Matthew 24:12). But God has not called us to be temperature‑takers of the world; He has called us to be thermostats, warming hearts through compassion, presence, and truth. Like Isaiah, we must respond to God’s call with, “Here am I. Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8). Evangelism is not only preaching; it is living as a witness. It is allowing your story, your scars, and your victories to testify of God’s goodness.

 

Paul reminds us that we are “ambassadors for Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:20). Ambassadors don’t stay silent. They represent the heart of the One who sent them. You are not the only one deserving of God’s grace, so don’t keep it to yourself. Someone needs your testimony to breathe again. Someone needs your kindness to hope again.

 

Change your heart posture. Don’t be afraid to share what God has done for you with those who feel forgotten. Let your light shine so brightly that others can see the God who still heals, still restores, and still loves through you.

The subconscious mind hears every word

Your subconscious mind hears every word. You have a choice of listening to the positive or negative, yet most of us focus more on our mistakes over complements. Criticisms tend to impact us more than good news. I’m guilty. Despite all of God’s goodness and miraculous things he has done in my life, I’ve focused on the negative, making me no different than many prophets in the Bible. Negative events have a greater impact on our brains than positive ones. After all of Moses’s great feats, it was easy for him to focus on his burdens over how far God brought him and the children of Israel. Moses asked God to kill him (Num. 11:11-15). Jonah was no different, he ran from God because he felt inept. “It is better for me to die than to live.” As humans, we tend to Remember traumatic experiences over positive ones. Recall insults better than praises. For me, I had to find a way to combat the negative thoughts over positive. God created me and you in his likeness. We are conquers. Giants! Warriors! Yet we discredit our greatness. Through prayer and being cognizant of how I talked to myself was the first steps to more positive thoughts over negative ones. I reframed the situation in a more positive light. When new negatives try to resurface, I look for an uplifting activity to pull myself out of the negative mindset. I try to redirect thoughts to things that bring joy, a peaceful spirit. Is it easy?  No. Some days are harder than others. Here are a few things I do get my mind off negative thoughts: 

• Pray & give thanks for all my blessings
• Go for a walk
• Listen to uplifting music 
• Read a good book 

Know that you don’t suffer alone. The subconscious mind can be your friend or enemy. Guard your mind. There is power in the tongue. Speak positive into your life.
