Pray Him to give you what Scripture calls “an honest and good heart,” or “a perfect heart;” and, without waiting, begin at once to obey Him with the best heart you have!
Pray Him to give you what Scripture calls “an honest and good heart,” or “a perfect heart;” and, without waiting, begin at once to obey Him with the best heart you have. Any obedience is better than none. You have to seek His face; obedience is the only way of seeing Him. All your duties are obedience. To do what He bids is to obey Him, and to obey Him is to approach Him. Every act of obedience is an approach—an approach to Him who is not far off, though He seems so, but close behind this visible screen of things which hides Him from us.
—J. H. Newman
Begin at once to obey God with the best heart you have! Amen! We need this today more than ever! Obedience to God, surrender to His will be done, abandon ourselves to Jesus. To follow Him, reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Jesus! We see so many full of so much hate, negativity, and misery today. They live without Jesus or the Spirit within. They use violence and hate to fight their raging battles in them, they do not even understand their own profound hate. They want lawlessness and sin, making so many excuses for it all and trying to justify it as if sin can be justified. Like killing babies, abortion. Some want men in in women sports. Many abuse so many vices. Sin and sin, hate, kill, steal, cheat, cancel, lie, and sin some more, just so many excuses for sin and lawlessness. It is sad to see today. We need to obey God. He gave us The Ten Commandments for a reason. He wants us to repent, turn from sin, and love one another. Yet, so many have such profound hate within them, not comprehendible for most who know love. We need to turn to Jesus, we need to have a good heart, work on it to being perfect if we can. Being obedient to God, following Jesus, imitating and loving like Him! If you love God, obey Him!
