♥ What God Does with Stone Hearts - Ezekiel 36:26

The first time the word ♥ heart is used in Scripture is significant.

"The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human ♥ heart was only evil all the time. The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his ♥ heart was deeply troubled." Genesis 6:5-6

Fortunately, God didn't give up on us. He made this offer to those who respond to His love:

"I will give you a new ♥ heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your ♥ heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." Ezekiel 36:26

Best of all, when we come to Christ, our ♥ hearts become God’s love letter:

"You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human ♥ hearts." 2 Corinthians 3:3

Thank-you, Lord, for writing Your love on our ♥ hearts!
