HEART work is HARD work

Read that again. It’s so true isn’t it? When we have needs or wants, God uses those times to work on our hearts. When we have trials, and frustrations, and grief, and fear…God uses those times to work on our hearts. When we have a disagreement with our spouse, a parent, or one of our children, God can use that to work on our hearts. He uses job loss, disaster, pet loss, financial burdens and the list goes on. If there is anything in life that is customized to your specific needs, it’s God’s hand in your HEART work.

Sometimes, He just does the work, and we don’t understand it. Other times, we have to let Him do the work and we completely understand it. In all cases of HEART work, we have to trust Him.

So here is a challenge for all of us. The next time we set out to perform a task, whether big or small, lets call it heart work instead of hard work; because everything we do can be an opportunity to grow.
