GRACE FOR THE MOMENT | A HEART LIKE HIS

1. Grace for the Moment

a) "Grace for the Moment" is a collection of thoughts that are inspirational. They are intended to encourage, to give hope, and to inspire the viewers.

b) Reading a thought can change the way you think about something.

2. Scripture Verse

i) Isaiah 64:8 New Century Version (NCV)

⁸ But Lord, you are our father.
    We are like clay, and you are the potter;
    your hands made us all.

3. Thoughts

a) God wants us to be like Jesus. Isn't that good news? You aren't stuck with today's personality. You aren't condemned to "grumpydom." Your are tweakable. Even if you've worried each day of your life, you needn't worry the rest of your life. So what if you were born a bigot? You don't have to die one.

b) Where did you get the idea we can't change? From whence come statement such as, "It's just my nature to worry" or "I'll always be pessimistic. I'm just that way"... Who says? Would we make similar statements about our bodies? "It's just my nature to have a broken leg. I can't do anything about it." Of course not. If our bodies malfunction, we seek help. Shouldn't we do the same with our hearts? Shouldn't we seek aid for our sour attitudes? Can't we request treatment for our selfish tirades? Of course we can. Jesus can change our hearts. He wants us to have a heart like His.
