A Soft Heart

Ezekiel 11:19 (Amplified Bible)

¹⁹And I will give them one heart [a new heart] and I will put a new spirit within them; and I will take the stony [unnaturally hardened] heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh [sensitive and responsive to the touch of their God],

When bad things happen to us, we tend to put a guard up around our hearts so that we don’t get hurt again.  We protect ourselves and in doing so, we lock God out of our lives. If our hearts hurt, we don’t want anyone touching it. However, if we allow God to heal us of those hurts, our hearts become soft and subtle again.  It’s then that we can feel God’s loving and gentle touch.

God is so gentle and He knows exactly what happened to us and He wants to heal it for us.  He wants us to allow Him to remove each layer of protection that we have used in the past so that He can get to the source of the pain and heal it.  He will take it one layer at a time and He won’t go past what we will allow Him to do.  Let’s let Him get to the heart of the matter and let's allow Him to take out our hard hearts and replace them with a soft heart that recognizes His gentle touch.
