We need tohave open

hearts

Ezekiel 36:26-27 (NIV)26 I will give you a new

heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to

keep my laws.

Romans 8:5-7 (NIV)“5. Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.”

Matthew 6:22-23 (NIV)22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness.”

What we see and how we see really matters.

We need to have open hands

Will you letthis be you?

Psalm 63:1-4 1You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you;I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you,in a dry and parched land where there is no water. 2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. 3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. 4 I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.

Psalm 1341 Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord    who minister by night in the house of the Lord.2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord. 3 May the Lord bless you from Zion,    he who is the Maker of heaven and earth.Let us be willing to lift up open hands to God and offer up open hands to others more often.
