I will give you a new heart!


God says in Ezekiel 36:26 
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; 
I will remove from you your heart of stone 
and give you a heart of flesh. 

Why wouldn't you want to seek him with all of your heart? 

Everything we are comes down to love, if we don't have love - we die. 

1 Corinthians 13
 1 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.

God is love. 

We associate love with the heart because that's where we feel it so we might as well give him ours. 

What is the worst that can happen? You'll fall in love with your Creator? All you will want to do is worship Him? Be in His presence and be like Him everyday of your life? Become part of His holiness and grace...? Be transformed because where you are weak, He is strong and when we give ourselves to Him he strengthens and heals the parts of us we think are broken, hard and or shattered.  Or is the worst thing that could happen be that you are cleansed by His blood and made into a new person, with a new heart, and a new spirit.

I, being a child of God, don't consider these the worst that can happen... The worst that can happen is not seeking Him at all. Not giving Him your heart so that he has the opportunity to change it. The worst thing that can happen is never giving Him any opportunity at all. 

He's not going to beg and coerce you into love, just like we can't beg and coerce each other into love. 

People either love us for all we are and accept us for everything we've got and are made up of, or they don't. But when they make an honest effort to be in our lives, to learn things about us, and get to know us, we know that they are genuine, and we welcome them with open arms, because it's nice to love and be loved. It's not just nice, it's the best feeling and response we can give and get. 

That's how God feels; Our Creator is waiting for you to make a choice to give Him a chance. Once you do, you will not be sorry. He will heal you, He will make you stronger, He will forgive you and He will make you a new creation.  2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come! (AMP)
