Stone or Flesh?

2 Cor 3:2-3
You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink by by the spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on the tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.

Ezek 36:26
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

Stone or Flesh? what is the condition of your heart here today? Is your heart in the condition liken to that of a Stone or that to Flesh?

The Stone talks to us about hardness and unmoving. Is that what your heart is like? So unloving? So bitter? So critical? So indifferent? So negative? We are all not meant to have a heart of stone but one which is full of life like the flesh.

The flesh is moving, blood flows through it signifying life is flowing through it, it shows that we are dynamic and always on the go, although easy to get hurt, it is also easy to forgive.

So which heart do you want? For me? I would choose the heart of Flesh, so as I can hear the voice, feel the warm embrace of God and I can in turn trust God to use me to administer love to the people. To be a blessing to the community, to be a blessing to society.

So if you have a heart of stone, pray to the Lord for a heart of Flesh, move on from a bitter one to a better one. Pray for the softening of your heart, so that God can use you as a yielded vessel to serve His purpose and will and to use you to administer His agape love.

So what do You want? You decide... A heart of Stone or a heart of Flesh
