“Whoever hears me builds his house on a rock.”

Luke 6:43-49

If we take a moment to be still and feel what is happening in our hearts, what comes up? Does your heart feel heavy or joyful? Is it unsettled or peaceful? In today’s passage, we are called to be mindful of what is happening within us, because what we do and how we react are often responses to how we feel inside. Even though we may feel like we keep things pretty well to ourselves and might even brush them aside, often they can manifest in ways we may not realise.

As we sit with what’s in our hearts today, let us invite Jesus and share these things with him. Only then can we begin to rebuild the foundation of our hearts by letting him heal our wounds, helping us overcome sin, and placing him at the centre of our hearts. Today, let us spend some time looking into our hearts and hearing what Jesus, who is always gentle and kind, has to say.
