    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 26, 2023 11:37


    There's so much more to Christianity and living by The Spirit. I go into the idea of what it means to be whole and giving Jesus our heart. That when The Spirit of God touches our heart that it makes it become alive again. Our hearts hold onto so much but as we pursue The Lord and cry out he moves to the broken-hearted. He fills the holes in our hearts of all our pain and sufferings. It's a process and relationship with Him that is built through time and sacrifice. Same as it would be to become good or developed in any area of life. Same principle goes into walking nearer with God. Except it's the best thing we could ever do. Hope you are blessed by this. ❤️‍
