”Give me a heart like Thine;
By Thy wonderful power,
By Thy grace every hour,
Give me a heart like Thine.”
Do you think that the prayer of that chorus can be answered? Jesus was the first born among many brethren (Romans 8:29). He is our elder brother and we are to be like Him. “As He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). “He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked (1 John 2:6).” You could never live these verses without a holy heart, one like Jesus’ heart.
Jesus had a heart of love. He had a humble heart. He had a meek and gentle heart. That is the type of heart He wants us to have. The story is told of a large Christian man who was very strong. Before he was saved he was known to have engaged in many fights. One day, he was wrongly removed from public transportation. He was asked, “Why didn’t you fight him, it was wrong what happened to you.” He responded, “I couldn’t fight him because God has taken all the fight out of me.”
Jesus is in the heart business. He wants to so change your heart that you are a walking talking representative of His kingdom. So how is that working out in you?
