In our confused culture we ignore the harvest of our heart and falsely believe that our thoughts, feelings, and desires have little or nothing to do with the quality of our life. So, we let them run wild and uncontested. In fact, we frequently let the worst of them torment, control, and define our heart. By doing so we become their obedient slave.

We need a day to examine the harvest of our heart and to consider how we have been cultivating it. Let’s call it How’s Your Heart? Day. Is your heart healed, whole, and wholesome?

Are there ways we can cultivate our heart for a better harvest? Yes, indeed!

Good or bad, the seeds you sow and cultivate in your thoughts, feelings, and desires will grow and expand. Whether joy or sadness, whatever you continually contemplate will be cultivated and come to harvest in your consciousness. Happiness or bitterness? You can see in people’s faces what they’ve cultivated in their heart.

If you aren’t enjoying your harvest, change what you’ve been cultivating! Whatever you cultivate in your heart will be harvested in your life. There is a plentiful harvest of joy for human hearts, but few people will labor to cultivate godly thoughts, feelings, and desires. The beautiful fruit of God’s Spirit can’t flourish in a heart clogged with weeds and distractions.

Your conscience is God’s gift designed to cultivate your heart for a joyful harvest. Let it plow up the hard ground within you and prepare the way of the Lord. When you’re ignoring your conscience, you’re ignoring Jesus. Listen up!

Too many Christians
Are looking for
A house of God,
A physical place
When what we need
Is to let Jesus take control
Of our inner space
And completely replace
Our thoughts, feelings, and desires
With His.
We need the heart of God!
Have your way in me, Lord!

With all the bad news it’s hard to be happy. Yet, the first Christians although suffering much cruelty and persecution overflowed with joy. You can, too!
