Is Your Heart Hardened?
It is a dangerous place to be with a hardened heart; I know, I have been there. We build a wall around ourselves thinking we are doing right, but are we really? Yes, nothing can come in, but neither can anything go out.
I don’t want any wall between me and my Lord. It also gives Satan an opportunity to attack us. I want to be at the Brazen Altar, at the Holy of Holies. When Jesus died He tore the veil in half, so we may enter into the Holy of Holies as we could not before. This is my desire for Him: to cleanse my lips before Him. I want to see His face smile down on me and say, “Job well done.” That is where our peace and joy will be stable, and our hearts softened from His love and mercy, where He will reside. God Bless you all.
