Calloused?

For this people’s heart has become calloused;they hardly hear with their ears,and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,hear with their ears,understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’Matthew 13:15

Everyone probably is familiar with callouses on your feet but what about your heart?  Yes, your heart. Is it hard and cracked because you fill your mind with the wrong things?

The enemy, Satan loves people with calloused hearts. Those who refuse to forgive, are rebellious, hateful, mean spirited, rude, uncaring, spiteful, grudge holders. It is hard to break through a calloused heart without the power of the Holy Spirit. Often times a person is blind to their calloused heart as they have become so saturated by the current culture that it is hard to get back to a loving relationship with the Lord. 

You could be reading this with a calloused heart and not get anything out of the words written. Stop everything and make it a point to spend quality time with the Lord. Start reading in the book of John in the New Testament. Separate yourself from worldy influences and seek to do a U Turn towards the savior. Seek the joy in the presence of the Almighty. To do this requires discipline. Go to Jesus the greatest callous remover ever. 

PRAYER: Father I find comfort in your word and in mediating on it day and night. The world wil send conflicting messages but I am to be in the world but not of the world. Help me recognize stumbling blocks that may seem innocent that the enemy puts in my path. In Jesus' name. Amen.
