JULY 21 ENCOURAGEMENT

The last day of this week posting on the theme matter of the heart. With this post we are ending to encourage those who love God and who been saved to walk in the newness that Christ has given all of all. Word today was malice. The motion or the act of doing evil. Plotting and planning evil things in one’s life. The other word is kindness. To show love, the act of being kind. Several scripture that tells us since we are walking with Christ we need to put or take off malice and put on kindness. Don’t let malice have a place in your life as a Christian because it’s part of the old nature.

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Colossians 3:3‭, ‬7‭-‬10 KJV

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Titus 3:3‭-‬5 KJV

As we grow in God and do things from him we must learn to take off somethings. They only hinder our relationship with God, others and ourselves. As we are taking those thing off must put on the righteous of God and clothe ourselves with kindness, goodness, love. Have compassion for each other.

What is in your heart is it full with unrighteous or righteous. Maybe you are stuck in the middle part of you want to do good and other part want to do bad. If you want a fresh start, you want a heart transplant, just ask Christ to come into your life and be the Lord and savior of it. Tired of having hate, lust, malice, envy. As we commit to God he will help you with those things. Just know God loves and care for you.

Be real, be true, but most of all reminded it’s a matter of the heart.
