It’s about your heart
Read Isaiah 58:2-11.
It happens to us so quickly that we are proud because we achieve something on the surface, for example fasting and praying regularly, but still, our heart is relatively cold towards others. Here in Isaiah, God lays his finger on a few points by which we can test our heart.
Am I fasting but not making time for God and my daily life looks the same as always?
Am I fasting, but full of anger, resentment, and unforgiveness?
Am I fasting, but the suffering and misery of other people leave my heart completely cold?
Read 1 Corinthians 13:1-3.
We humans all fall so easily into the religiosity trap. How quickly we do "pious" things to make ourselves feel better in the eyes of ourselves, others, and God. God wants our motivation to come from love - for Him, for ourselves, and for our neighbor.
Prayer and Get Free
Father, please put your finger on the points in my heart where my heart is cold and without love. I bring these points to you on the cross (specifically name all the points that the Holy Spirit shows you and place them on the cross) and exchange them for your supernatural love. Thank you for promising that your love is poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. Please show me where and how I can share your love today. Amen
Next Step:
If you have an idea today how you can pass on God's love to someone in a very practical way, then do it directly. Ask God to give you His view on and His love for that very person.
LOVE CHANGES - regardless of how your fast goes, you can use the remaining days of the "21 Days" to do good for the people around you.
