Ezekiel 36: 26 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.
I need a new heart. The heart of stone does not serve me nor anyone else well. I need a new spirit. I need to let go of resentments and expectations which serve no one.
"Go where you are celebrated" is kind of like shaking the dust off your feet, as Jesus told the disciples. Then you move on, dust-free. Your new heart and spirit are ready for the place which is God's will for you.
Prayer: Lord, free me from the misery which expectation and resentment cause inside me. Give me a new heart and a new spirit to live my life fully in the way You would have me live.
Amen
I chose the same verse a year later. My mood is more celebratory now, but these words still resound in my heart.
