It\u2019s overwhelming to consider that we can stir God\u2019s heart just as Kelsey stirred mine. In fact, to do so is our place as His children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201chorror of horrors\u201d in Scripture is a hard heart. In Mark 3:5 we read that Jesus was \u201cgrieved\u201d over the Pharisees\u2019 \u201chardness of heart\u201d (NRSV). We are told that, of all things, \u201cDo not harden your hearts.\u201d[i]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is a hardened heart? It is a heart that has stopped feeling, a heart that is dead toward God, a heart that feels no passion\u2014and so it evokes no obedience to His commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What will help us obey God\u2019s commands is an <em>engaged<\/em> heart, a heart that is enlarging in love, a heart that feels new things, and feels them more deeply than it did before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">\u201cI will run in the way of Your commandments, when <em>You enlarge my heart<\/em>.\u201d[ii]<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Engaging or enlarging my heart to do the best for God and other people doesn\u2019t come easily to me. I grew up with a theological, intellectual bent and, like many Western Christians, I cultivated a rather \u201cdisembodied\u201d faith. I largely worship God in spite of my body rather than incorporating it (beyond occasionally lifting my hands or kneeling in prayer). God has challenged me in this, sometimes even providing experiences that don\u2019t quite make sense to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2SMaaJT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/GloriousPursuit-tDM-Article-Banner-1024x205.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9038\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a time in my life when my heart had grown hard. There were sins\u2014always repented of, certainly, but not always put to death. In fact, I drifted more than just a little while, and the drift carried me for a few years. Finally, I decided to take a major step to end it. I sat down with another Christian and had a heart-to-heart. I\u2019ve often found that confession does wonders for helping me address my faults more seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next Sunday, I was worshiping at church. At the time, we were still living in Virginia, where we attended a charismatic Episcopalian congregation, and as we moved from one point in the liturgy and began singing a chorus, I lifted my hands and felt a kind of burning in my physical being. As the iciness moved out of my soul, a new excitement surged through my body as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had experienced this intensity years before, and it brought me to tears to have God acknowledge my desire to once again be completely, unreservedly His.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christianity requires a tough fight. A tough, tough fight. It is a dangerous sidetrack to <em>seek <\/em>emotionalism in worship, or to <em>seek<\/em> physical phenomena. But we need every weapon that God will give us, and a heart that is passionately engaged with God and His children is a powerful weapon. Don\u2019t fear the full range of human experience.[iii]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you want to become holy? Then open your heart and learn to feel deeply. Ask God for the virtue of passionate love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>Taken from <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2SMaaJT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Glorious Pursuit: Becoming Who God Created Us to Be<\/em> <\/a>by Gary Thomas.
