Expand Your Inner Life - Ezekiel 36.26

And I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36.26.

The stony heart has reference to the hardness of the heart, while the heart of flesh has reference to a softness or tenderness of heart. On the day a person gets saved his hardened heart is softened, yet we dare not say it is totally softened.

The progress of our life hinges entirely on the transformation of our heart—whether it is hard or soft. If our heart is seized by anything outside of God—be it an event, a person, or a thing—the operation of life will as a rule be hindered. For this reason God will transform our heart continuously until it wholly becomes like tender flesh. Then His Spirit is able to cause our inner life to expand with strength. Just be willing to obey God and His life will move into the conscience, mind, will, and emotion of your heart. It will keep on moving.
