Ezekiel 11:19 I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.
God's work in our lives is sometimes inconceivable. We want to think that we somehow have control over our own hearts and lives. We want to believe that if we have a good attitude and stay positive, our hearts will become good. The truth is, we have no control over our hearts. We can control our attitude, but making the decision every day to have a positive outlook can get very tiring when things continue to be difficult. What we often miss is that if we allow God to make our hearts undivided to Him and give us a new Spirit, we will have the positive outlook and good attitude that we so desperately work at. We will become the individual who has a heart about others because we live through the One who gave His life for others. Our heart change is God's job, not ours. All we do is accept the gift of Jesus and He does the rest. Will you accept His gift this Christmas?
