heart turned toward God that results in
obedience. Help me to continually hold my

way and fulfill its desires, but the new heart I have given you longs to know Me, to follow Me,
to walk in all My ways, and fulfill My purpose for your life. This gift of grace I have already
given to you, but you need to believe it is true. You must count on in by faith because I say it is
true; do not depend on whether you feel it is true.
Stop trying to change your heart by changing your actions, but allow My heart, My Spirit
within you to live out through your actions. Just as eternal life and salvation are My gift and
cannot be earned, so the power to live according to My will is given to you as you allow My
Spirit to have His way in every area of your life. You cannot create or earn that power; it is My
gift of Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Walk in My Spirit and keep your eyes fixed on Me, and I will accomplish all My desire in
your life.
