Looking at the heart

of Jesus.  This month is the month of love.  Hearts of all kind infiltrate the stores.  What kind of heart is infiltrating your "store"?  Do you have a heart like Jesus?  That should be our goal in life as Christians.  To view others as Jesus does.  To do what Jesus would do (I actually do not like that saying do to the mass publicity it got years ago - I mean people would be wearing that bracelet while getting hammered at a bar and cussing people out.  Hmmmm) Sorry about that tangent.  Jesus loves.  Take that in deeply with a huge breath of relief.  Jesus loves.  He loves sinners.  He receives sinners just like me and just like you.  Praise the Lord!  "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28  Does your heart receive sinners?  Do you forgive and forget?  I know it is so hard to forget - the forgiving seems to be the easy part, but the forgetting part just lingers and lingers on.  How do you forget?  You get a heart like Jesus.  You read His word and see how he was beaten, denied, and trash talked to, yet he forgave.  Use His examples to purify your hearts into forgetfulness.  I am speaking to myself here loud and clear this morning.  And it isn't even anything someone did to me; it is something I did all on my own a long time ago.  I know I have been forgiven.  I have forgiven myself, yet I can't seem to forget.  Purging my mind and soul into His word to have a heart like Jesus this month.  Will you join me in prayer and on this journey to a clean, forgiving and forgetting heart?
