the heart is what matters
I'm convinced that true discipleship is becoming more and more like Jesus [and most of us would probably agree with that].
But I'm also convinced of this: we miss the deeper level of discipleship that actually counts. Here is what I mean.
How often do we focus on changing someone's actions instead of focusing on the end result of heart change?
How many people do you know that struggle with the same things over and over because because they are only focus on not exploding with their temper or not spending money they don't have or not judging people.
Actions tend to be temporary and maybe are even forced if the heart is not transformed. More than actions have to change for a person to continually grow in their relationship with Christ.
I'll post more on this in the next few days.
