Have a Heart


The heart is deceitful above all things
    and beyond cure.
    Who can understand it?
“I the Lord search the heart
    and examine the mind,
to reward each person according to their conduct,
    according to what their deeds deserve.”
Jeremiah 17:9-10


Don't be deceived by appearances.  Some hearts are deceptive. 
 I like the shape.  It looks like a heart but I shouldn't touch it.  It would hurt me.
I'm like that heart sometimes.
My thoughts are prickly...my tongue is spikey...my intentions are questionable.
Oh, that I would have a heart to please God all the time...not just the times that suit me.
Lord, help me to have a heart for you.
