A warm heart in a cold world

 

This is a cold world. We live in a time in which the love of many are growing cold. Relationships are becoming meaningless, betrayals are on the increase, loneliness is skyrocketing. How does one keep a warm heart ❤in such a cold world? The solutions of many people is to isolate themselves, to be weary of close friendship, but isolation only make our hearts colder. This coldness of heart play a great role in our mental health epidemic. Without love, life seems cruel and unbearable. Without love the world becomes a dark place, a jungle. Without love, life cease to have meaning. How do I keep a warm heart in such a cold world ?

How does a person keep a warm heart when someone abused them as a child? How does a person keep a warm heart when they had parents who were cold, unloving? How do you keep a warm heart when after your parents got a divorce you rarely see your dad? How do you keep a warm heart when people made fun of how you look as a teenager? How do you keep a warm heart when you were bullied and called names by others ? How do you keep a warm heart when people always take advantage of you? How can you keep a warm heart when your first boyfriend/girlfriend claimed to love you and will marry you but then leave you as soon as they slept with you? 

How can you keep a warm heart when you have had six, seven , ten sexual partners and you are not even 22 years old yet ? When you feel like you are just a piece of meat for them, when you feel like they just get with you for your body and as soon as they get what they want, they dispose you like trash ? How can you keep a warm heart when those who claimed to love you betray you? How can you keep a warm heart when in time of needs you can find no one to depend on ? How can you keep a warm heart when those whom you love forsake you as soon as they don't need you anymore, as soon as they find a new relationship, a new job etc..? 

How can you keep a warm heart when your spouse betray and forsake you, family members abandoned you, children reject you, loved ones ignore you ? How can you keep a warm heart when church brethren you seek to find refuge in reject you because of your past, abandon you because of your mistake and show no patience with you because of your struggle with sin and a character flaw ? How can I find hope in a world without hope, how can I keep a warm heart in world so selfish, so cold, so cruel ?

Friends, think about the things that have wounded you in life, the things that have make your heart so cold and ask how can I keep a warm heart after such a thing ?

Friends, the only way to keep a warm, loving heart ❤ in such a cold, selfish and cruel world is to keep bringing the pain, the wounds, the betrayals to the Lord. Tell God in prayer about the abuse you suffer. Tell God about the betrayals, tell God about the abandonment. Tell God about your kindness being taking for weakness, tell God about your loneliness, tell God about the broken promises, friends open the heart to God and reveal the deep wounds to Him like a patient remove the bandage to expose the wounds to the physician 👨🏾‍⚕️. Let the the Lord examine the wounds and He will provide the cure .

Then pray God for the people who have wronged you, not for their harms, but for their conversion. There is a saying "hurt people hurt people ,". Meaning those who wounded you have themselves been wounded by others. And truth is the human race as a whole has been wounded by the ancient serpent 🐍, the devil himself. We all have deep wounds in our soul and unless we are praying God for healing, the enemy will use our pain to cause us to hurt and mistreat others. So we must not only pray for our own healing,but pray for the healing of those who hurt you. Pray for the power to forgive and love them. Pray for the Lord to make you a healer of others, one who will heal the broken hearted.

How can I keep a warm up in such a cold world ? As you abide in Jesus and He is healing you, make it a priority to minister to others, to bring healing to others. Whatever your talent is, use it for the glory of God and the welfare of others. Send others a text to check up on them, give one a call, invite one to your home, visit the sick, listen to the broken hearted, help one get back to their feet, get involved in serving others. It is in helping others, being loving to others and reaching to others we reveal the love of God to the world. So how can I keep a warm heart in such a cold world ? By seeking healing from God, intercede for others before the Lord and ministering to their needs .

Matthew 24:12,13


And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

The sanctuary in Heaven

Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. 9 "According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture. Exodus 25:8,9 God told Moses to build him a sanctuary according to the pattern that he sees. Does that mean God created a blue print for him or is it a pattern of something in heaven? Copy of the True Tabernacle The sanctuary that they built in the wilderness is a copy of the one that is in heaven. Yes there is a sanctuary in heaven. So if there is a sanctuary in heaven , does that mean there is a High Priest also? They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." Hebrews 8:5

Is the United States a Christian nation?

 Why calling the United states a Christian country is detrimental to Christianity.  The United states was clearly influenced by Christian principles; The pilgrims were escaping persecutions from Europe and while many of them practiced Christianity, they were still suffering persecution in Europe from state churches. The founding fathers, some being Christians, made sure to separate the church from the state. They well knew of the carnage that comes as a result of having a state religion. And so, the US became one of the rare countries without a state religion. Each person was left to follow the dictate of his own conscience.  When you call a country by a specific religion, people associate all of its behaviors with said religion. Note this example: Slavery was an institution in the United states; this would also mean that the brutality of slavery was accepted a Christian precept. Even the mistreatment of the Indians would have been considered a Christian precept. In fact,...

When God calls you. The fiery way to God

 "Why is my life so hard? Why are these things happening to me? I pray to God for healing, but there is no healing. I pray for better finances, but no money is forthcoming. I am so tired of these struggles; I am on the verge of giving up. I might as well live life the way I want to and hope to die soon. Have these thoughts ever come to your mind? These are thoughts many will encounter as they ascend the mountain of God. For many of us, life began well. We had a great time in our youth; we believed in love, we believed the future was bright, and we felt whole as a person. But somewhere along the way, hardship showed up. An illness, a broken heart, the death of a loved one, or broken aspirations sent us into despair and grief. Suddenly, life became dark and hopeless. But then, we heard the voice of God. We heard someone preach, 'Come to Jesus and all will be well; come to Jesus and He will give you the desires of your heart.' So we came to Jesus, hoping that we were back on ...
