Heart-rendering position

Heart-rendering position

Joel 2: 13

REND [pull apart by grief] YOUR HEARTS [expression of inner repentance]

and not your garments [an outward expression of grief]

and return to the Lord, your God,

for He is gracious and merciful,

slow to anger,

and abounding in loving-kindness;

and He revokes His sentence of evil [when His conditions are met].

-------------------------

Pray the Word:

Lord, it's more gratifying to our flesh to rend our 'garments' [be centered

on the outward emotions & circumstances] than to render our hearts [where

the deep, secret grief is personally experienced]. Most times, I don't 'want

to go there' because it hurts too bad. . . . but, I know that's where the

soul moving work of the Holy Spirit is experienced & healing is found.
